Although not a big Kenny Rogers fan, I keep having his song, "The Gambler" rolling through my head.
"You gotta know when to walk away, and when to run."
Professionals: It is in serving your clients' true best interest, that sometimes, you have to be willing to walk away. Based upon my experience, clients-or potential clients, are seeking a professional's honest opinion...not how much money if sell this puppy, not, I'll get them to sign and then we'll start lowering the price.
As the market has gotten tighter, oh, akin to a scene from the National Geographic when the watering hole is drying up, it is integrity of what you can truly do to help your customer that should remain in the forefront of your mind.
Sellers: You should expect nothing less than honesty and integrity. If, after an agent has discussed your situation with you, you may decide for whatever reason selling or other options like renting right now may not be right for you.. In this market, it has to make sense.
My hope is that if you, as a consumer, begin to ask agents if they would be willing to walk away from "your deal" if they could not truly be of help, how many would know "When to walk away."
Those are the agents, who, despite the challenges of earning a living in this market, will do their utmost to get the job done for you-when you are ready.
