A long Drive For Little Pay

Today I made a 70 mile round trip to show an old mobile home on a lot listed for $59,000 to a long time investor client of mine. He is going to make  an offer on it. Unfortunately it will be low but probably won't amount to sale. When my client called and said he wanted to see it today, he said he could have the listing agent show it to him and if he liked it he would have me right the offer (since my client lives within a mile of the subject property) For a second it crossed my mind to tell him to call the listing agent and have him show it. That's not my style if I am going to make a sale and represent my client in the transaction should we indeed get it to close then the least I could do is make the drive. If it had been a customer I had just recently met I would have refered him to the listing agent. The right thing to do ?  www.MontroseHomeConnection.com

You made the correct move.  It will pay off in the long run.

Servicing your client is always the best thing to do.....Always look out for your clients interest and the payoff will be at the end.

Alan, I am not a Realtor but I would have to say you made the right choice in both scenarios.

Hi Alan,

In my mind, you made the right choice.  You may have spotted something about the property that you could have pointed out to your client--you never know.  He is probably glad you went.
