Hire a professional for their knowledge and experience

By
Real Estate Agent with Atlanta Communities 303302

It seems funny to have to remind people that when they hire a professional they should probably listen to what they have to say. I saw a sign once that provided a cost for some work to be done and under that it gave a higher price if the buyer of the service wanted to help.

I recently spoke to a financial adviser and hired him to help me. I respect the guy and he comes well recommended. I wonder what he would say if I started to demand that he do things my way or else? The plumber I use is great, too. When I need him for a job I let him get it done and say thank you afterward.

Sometimes when Real Estate Agents are hired to sell a home, we run into clients who believe we are there just to take instructions from them. This can hinder the sale of a home, or even cause it to not sell. I say, if you believe that the professional you hire knows what they are doing...let them do their job.

I have had sellers think they know it all. Eventually, they realize they hire me for a reason.

Hi Peter, I heard a conversation about this one went along these lines. Seller, "I want you to do it this way" Agent, "how many homes have you sold in your life?" Seller, "3"  Agent, "I did that last week, should we reconsider our approach?" 

Sellers need to have confidence in their agent, if the agent can't give the seller a reason for confidence, they need a new agent.
