Have You Turned Down A Seller?

I really came into my own by knowing what I don't want and I do want in that way

Your questions were very pertinent and easy to answer if the Seller was truthful Margaret Rome Baltimore 410-530-2400 and an excellent observation on your part.

Morning Margaret.

Yes ma'm, I have fired two, one  seller and one a buyer.  

Hello Margaret - some times there are red flags.  And at times those flags are waving furiously.  There are warning signs.  Be aware.  Stay aware.  

Good morning, Margaret... I won't say I've turned down tons of listing opportunities, but I have done my share. The handful of times when I didn't trust my instincts and took on a listing I wasn't sure about, I regretted it and ended up having to fire the sellers.

Hi Margaret
Trust is an essential part of any relationship, whether it be business or personal. 

Good morning Margaret! Yes, there are some folks that won't trust and I usually find they are not trustworthy

Absolutely. We have refused to work with sellers and buyers who we didn't think were a good fit. Like you, we expect realisic expectations, transparency, and authenticity. Without those, a transaction can go south in a hurry. 

Asking the right questions, and establishing a trusting and honest relationship up front is the only way to work. I have had to separate myself from unscrupulous individuals on a few occasions.

Margaret that was a wise decision.  I pity the person who finally ended up representing her.

People going through a divorce have little trust but that doesn't help when trying to sell a home.  Very wise decision to just walk away

I probably have turned down fewer than average agents have these past 40 years.  However, the account you give with this particular seller would be one I wouldn't wish to represent.  If a client hides things we question of them, then what else are they hiding?  They can quickly entangle you into their dark web, and we simply don't need that.

CONGRATULATIONS Margaret, on having this blog FEATURED in the Old Farts Club group!  

Reminds me of a floor duty call the first year I was licensed.  Guy called and asked if his wife had to sign for him to list their home.  I asked if she was on the deed.  He asked why it mattered.  I got the address, told him she was on the deed and she did have to sign.  He sounded panicked.   Obviously, I didn't waste my time on him.
