I Think They Got a Bad Deal!

Ira they absolutely did. They made informed decisions based on the facts.

Jay and Michelle I got that impression too.

Exactly Jerry about the lose comments and nobody asked his opinion about the transaction.

Rich that is exactly what he should have said.  PERIOD!

I wholeheartedly agree Beth.  Ignore and move on. Anything else is just as pointless as their opinions.

Exactly Than.  I actually have some electrical work at my own house that I was considering him for.  I may or may not still use him.  I think he did a good job, but the unsolicited advice put a bad taste in my mouth.

Karen he is unlikely to get a referral out of me.  I definitely don't need him interfering in an area for which he has no expertise.

Trust me Evelyn, I have to work hard at it too.

Ya know Suzanne?  That's what really kills me when people do that.  They have no idea of the what has taken place and the discussions that have lead to informed decisions.  People kill me wanting to pretend to know everything.

Lanre the defects of the homes could have given your buyer some leverage on many levels.  He was out of bounds. His job was to point out and inform of any defects, explain what needs to take place and/or advice for the buyer to seek expert opinions from contractors who are experts in areas of the property defects.

Sonja I'm sure he has too.  I wonder how they handled it.

They buyers are the ones that count and speaking of the ones that count Joan, I had to remind the sellers agent that what she deemed important didn't matter, but the point of contention was about something that was important to the buyers.

Fred at least why he doesn't get referrals more than once.

Laura and I stand firmly on that foundation.

Kelly I can just see myself walking away as he was talking.  I was determined to not be as rude as he was.  I am sure that my not contributing to the conversation was punishment enough.

That definitely would have been warranted Mike.  No question about it.

Sandy it's not wonder I still have a tongue to speak of considering how hard I was biting my tongue.

Gita there was a time when I would have heavily debated the uninformed party but I now know that the only thing they care about is hearing themselves talk like they know what they are talking about.

Gary I have met many, many, many.  I wish it was only one.

An endless supply Dagny.

I know Lyn but whatcha gonna do?  This is one of those things that comes with the territory.

Fortunately Bill my clients had not arrived yet.  So I was thankful for that.  But after we were done, I made sure once again, that my buyer was satisfied and understood every aspect of what was going on.

Blaring is the word BLiz.  I was glad when the buyer showed up.  Their presence automatically put an end to his rattling on and on.

I second that motion Nina.

Rafi I wish you were in Alabama.

Kat I had to laugh at that.  It's ridiculously funny but oh so true.

Fueling with the necessary knowledge will take you a long way Keith.

Not a single fact Bill.  Or better yet, ONLY a single fact.

That's my take on it Gerard.

Oh Richie believe me, I have had my fair share of these experiences.  Only difference is that I handle them a lot differently than I did in the beginning of my real estate career.

They think it makes them look smart Maria.

That's the truth Harry. I won't interfere with your job and you don't interfere with mine.

Yep Wayne and Jean and will voice those opinions at the drop of a dime.

Dwight you know when and how to do your job and what it involves and that's what matters.

And Brenda I would so much rather exert my energy where it matters.

I respect that Kimo, but I didn't have anything to prove to him nor was he involved in the transaction so I felt it pointless.

Bryan this guy's only point of reference was a house that he once almost bought.  Need I say more?

I can't argue with there Marte.

EXACTLY Michelle.  Speaking of which, this house has a lakeside view.

Travis at least you had the wherewithal to recognize when you may have suffered from foot in mouth syndrome.

Fortunately Inna, I haven't had to deal with any neighbors like that.
