BB - great points to remember. Thanks for the nudge.
You are certainly a professional - in all ways. God bless.
Fabulous post, Bryant. Sometimes I'm amazed at the hassle that other agents put each other through. We all have the same goal in mind - to have a happy seller and a happy buyer when all is said and done. Great reminders... thanks for taking the time to post it.
I think you made a judgement call...and one that will benefit both your own and your seller's bottom line. Had you just ignored the situation and let it go, I would have been disappointed, but you personally took the time to continue fostering the relationship with the buyer's agent and let them know what was acceptable and what was not in future instances. Mentoring to other agents is a great way to reign them in without bringing them down. I think you handled it just right!
That's great advice and very articulate. I've run into a lot of hysterical realtors losing their cool the past year or so, I think it has a lot to do with the pressure everyone's under. But that's no excuse.
Yes it all sounds much better. I have had my issues with some of the local REALTORS of my area and could have made a big stink but I have turned the other check many a time and even offered to help people out more than a few times.
Nice piece of work, and I like your other blog as well. I was wondering if you ever allow guest bloggers to send you an article to post on your other blog, with credit back to the author? If so let me know, as I am looking to build some relationships and a more diverse link portfolio as well of course.

I hear you Bryant. You know I read your list and one says "Never lose my cool. Ever." I have had agents hang up on me, rant at me, whine at me. Times are tough out there.....deals are falling through do to the economic problems and agents are reacting with this negative manner. I hope people read that and realize that doing such things won't change the situation. Good post. Thanks.
You are right. If you make a fellow realtor mad the will often avoid your listings.
I wrote a blog about other Agents not returning phone calls when I was a Newbie in RE and to AR. I'm amazed that it is still an issue. In this market, and business, we need to be respectful of one another. We're all busy.
It is no different than when you deal with that buyer or seller who completely and utterly frustrates you every time you speak. We have all been there, right? If you haven't you will one day and my best advice to you is KILL THEM WITH KINDNESS! Some of my most difficult clients have been the best source of referrals!
Broker Bryant - You are a honest and good hearted Realtor. I would not have reported it. We need each other to sell and show the listing. You are a good hearted Realtor.
This is a must read for all agents!
good for you for keeping an eye on the future - you let him know the error in his ways in a manner that maintains his dignity - and yours.
BB - Excellent points. Never burn bridges. We never know when we might need somebody to sell our next listing.
I think you have to be a good judge of character to know if someone is making a mistake or IF it is their standard operating procedure. BUT...YES...I'd do the same thing in this case. GBU!
BB If you had listings in NH I would not hesitate showing them to my clients and customers.
BB- I really like the way you handled the situation. I read your related post and could see how it could of become a matter of pointing fingers had you handled it differently. I have bookmarked the post so I can review it from time to time as I need the reminder of who it is I am working with and for.
Best,
Scott
What a great list! Sounds like you handled the situation with that realtor well and instead of acting impulsively and reporting him to his broker, you looked at the big picture.
What a super blog. Bryant I am amazed that you have the same figure as the Big Boy. I had imagined you are much thinner than he is or was. You know as in the burger joint "Kip's Big Boy" . I have not seen one of those in about 25 years. Where on earth did you find the picture?!?

Bryant - Your points are great! I too wish more Realtors in my area would abide by them. Yes, we should make an effort to list homes that will sell in today's market and definitely when it comes to negotiation - we need to be the professionals and work together regardless of how emotional our clients get on either side. I too would be thrilled to work a transaction through with you :)
Ok I can't keep up!!! As always you guys have left some great comments. It's really not that difficult to work together is it?
