Bob Schenkenberger Impressed Me!

By
Real Estate Agent with Aspen Lane Real Estate Colorful Colorado CRE# 40005863

Many times, you will hear me tell my clients that the most difficult part of my job is actually working with other agents.  Some agents are just clueless and I wonder how they managed to pass the real estate exam.  Their work ethics are marginal and their response time is just plain ridiculous.  

 

However, every once in a while, I am lucky enough to work with one of the good ones!

 

Such was the case with a transaction I just closed on Friday as a Buyer's Agent and Bob Schenkenberger was the Listing Agent.  

 

Bob Schenkenberger, Broker/Owner of Colorado Realty Professionals was a pleasure to work with.  

 

Many of you may be wondering why I am writing about my competition.  It's simple.  When someone goes above and beyond and makes my life better, I like to share my experience.  Its OK that Bob is my competition.  There is plenty of real estate to go around in the Denver Metro Area. 

 

I do think he should consider maybe shortening his last name to Schenk, but other than that,  Bob is a great guy to have on the other side of the table.

 

Thank you Bob for restoring my faith in my colleagues.  I will try to have an optimistic attitude with my future deals and hope that others have your professionalism and work ethic.

Belinda,

So glad you took the time to praise an agent.  More fellow Rainers and Rainettes should do the same. And I loved these words, Its OK that Bob is my competition.  There is plenty of real estate to go around in the Denver Metro Area.  You are a fine lady!  A

You and Bob are good each other and for your community! There are agents that are my competition that I've enjoyed and became friends with and there are those I hope I never hear or see them again. Getting along and giving praises when praise is due shows you're made of the right stuff!

What a nice shout out for Bob! I bet he is saying the Same about you! We are always going to be on the other side of the fence with the other agent, but that doesn't mean that you can't both be professional and cooperative.

Hi Belinda Spillman ,  I agree with you 100%.  It's always like a breath of fresh air when you have someone like that to work with once in a while.  Nothing wrong with complimenting the competition in this case.

Hi Belinda, Great post. When two pros work together, everybody wins. When we're stuck dealing with a stick in the mud on the other side, it's a pain for everyone.

Hi Belinda --- a nice shout out to Bob Schenkenberger --- I find that there are actually more good than bad "out there" but it's still nice to hear about those transactions that have a happy ending.  Congrats to all for a successful sale.
