Hello Everyone,

 I just wanted to post on a topic that all Realtors come across in their career in Real Estate. This is also a key lesson for home shoppers and home sellers to learn from. In the Real Estate business we put all of our effort and work into helping people buy and sell homes. Unlike the jobs that many of our clients work at to provide for their families, Relators are 100% commission and we only make money after the home closes.

This means when we drive a client around for days, or list a property and put in expensive magazine ads, we have to pay for everything and spend the time, hoping the client will find a home and we get paid at the very end after they get the keys.

 What this means is sometimes, many agents have experienced this, you are working with a client helping them and guiding them, sending them lists and giving them tools, and then one day you call and they tell you they found a home they liked. But instead of them asking to see it,they say they put an offer on it. What? Yes, they wrote an offer without you and that is the only way you get paid.

So they were excited and wrote an offer with the listing agent and all your time and money went down the drain because even though you were helping them, you won't get paid. The tough thing about this is if you're good you have more people wanting to work with you than you have time to help. So if I help someone, I'm not helping someone else.

So loyalty is key and the public needs to step up to the plate on this one. If someone is helping you make sure you are loyal to them. They have a family they are trying to support and they don't get a paycheck every Friday, they live and die by helping people and closings. I am a very loyal person and I will go out of my way to help clients, but I expect them to be the same way back. Please be loyal to your agent who is working hard for you. Thanks and my wife thanks you too... (I have to tell her that so and so bought a home without me)
