I wrote this post back in April of 2007. If you read what I wrote...... you will see that at the time most agents and most homeowners were still critical of how we conduct our business. I believe that back then that most sellers were thinking that they could still handle selling their homes themselves and that they never thought that by the end of the year.....things would only got worse. You were seeing more and more agents leave the business and you were seeing the survivors picking up any leftover business that was out there. You can't beat a stubborn person into submission. You can't always convince people what is best for them. You can't make someone swim in a cold river but you can ask them to dip their feet in and test the waters.
Although inventory is down a bit in my area...there is still a large need for our services. We might not be able to come up with some miracle cure.... but if we can convince the consumer that they need us and we need them....then we might start to see better times ahead. So many things have happened over the last two years and that most of it is out of our control. Whats done is done and now it's time to shut up and move on.
So why would a seller fight us on how much we should be paid? If they use my services...they only have to compensate me if I sell their home. If I don't sell it then I walk away with nothing. So why wouldn't I be motivated? "I'm" the one that will lose if I don't accomplish "their" goals.
Why not have some confidence in us?
If you look back you might find it interesting that when I wrote that post....the walls were coming down around us but most people refused to believe it....well do you believe it now?
You can't put value on superior service.....it's priceless.
