How do you know when you've hired the wrong Realtor?

Hello Everyone,

Ok I couldn't help myself, but here is the list, I have seen these and even though they sound funny there are people and their properties who have hired these type of agents. As a general rule my advice is two fold. Make your agent write a exit clause if you're not satisfied with their services. We have done this for years and the public should really ask for it. If they won't that should be an indicator of their service. Many people get into a contract and don't realize the broker owns the contract and if your agent isn't doing their job you can contact their broker and ask them to fix it or release the listing.

So here is the list of how to know you have hired the wrong agent.

1. You have called them to list the property and they won't call you back

2. They show up in sweats

3. There is dust on the paperwork and their briefcase

4. They take pictures with their cell phone

5. The pictures they took look like they took them at night while driving by with their cell phone

7. You do recognize the pictures of your dirty dishes, and underwear on the floor

8. After listing the home, they go on vacation

9. The sign has been dangling on one hook for 3 weeks

10. There are cobwebs in the empty flyerbox

11. The black and white brochure looks like it was printed on the safeway copy machine.

12. Their card doesn't have their picture on it.

13. They are too busy for you

14. They pass you off to someone else

15. 30 days go by and you haven't heard from them

16. They are willing to list your home at a big discount

17. The picture on their card looks like a prom photo and they are over 50

18. They don't know what a magapixel is

19. Their website is the company website

20. They are rude or talk down to you

21. When you ask how things are going they say great when you haven't had a looker in over 30 days

22. When they ask you to write an offer on a home you don't really like

23. They don't listen to you.

The list can go longer, but if you have some of these signs consult with a professional at once. You may have a case of badrealtorosis and you should check into it.
