Top 10 Ways to “Lose your Agent”

By
Real Estate Agent with NextHome Specialists

1.  It's not you, it's me...I admit I have a fear of commitment and would prefer having more casual relationships with numerous listing agents for every home I see.

2.  I'm getting back together with my ex-agent...he sent me a beautiful postcard yesterday saying how much he missed me.

3.  My therapist thinks that I would do better off selling the house on my own...I need to become more independent.

4.  I can't work with you after seeing you eat that poor cow at lunch...

5.  You're a Democrat?!  Can you please drop me off at the next light?

6.  I just don't feel special anymore, what ever happened to the lunches, the long drives to see beach houses, the free koozies? 

7.  Oh my, did I forget to tell you my new cell number?

8.  My horoscope said that we don't make a good match...your birth date implies misfortune within my living space.

9.  If you can't donate half your commission to our local "Struggling Actor's Fund", this can't go any further.

10. The dog ate our listing agreement.

Thats hilarious! 

How about the one where a past client calls you to send you their 'new address' because they enjoyed those recipe postcards so much!!
