I don't blog regularly (nor twick or tweet) but today is a good time to vent and to seek some advise.
It seems that at least once every month, I am showing a property to my Buyer client with the Listing Broker present. One local realtor office in my area insists that their Listing Broker be present to present the property. But during the presentation to my buyer, the Listing Broker begins to tell us about his/her other Listings that could work well for my Buyer. This is not because I have requested other ideas from them, just their voluntary contribution. I think this interuption constitutes interference. I have a plan and a process going with my Buyer. We are looking at everything within their criteria range eventhough they have already told me that they think the first house we saw would be near perfect. And now some listing broker begins to throw out new options, putting doubt in my buyers mind that I may have missed something or else leading them somewhere. So I end up having to explain to the listing broker (and my buyer) why the new idea will probably not work for them. I can understand and appreciate helpful, aggressive Listing Brokers, but when do their disruptive actions cross the ethical line?
