Their Problem = Who To Trust?

Full of Crap or True Blue TrustworthyCivilians secretly think Real Estate Agents are full of crapola. The civilian perception is:

  1. Real estate agents follow-up and follow-through like Donald Trump combs overspectacularly irresponsible.
  2. Real estate agents behave and screech, “It’s ALL about ME”.  ”I’m famous.”  ”I’m NUMBER ONE.”  ”Dig ME, Dig MY awards, Dig MY bill boards.”  ”I exceed your expectations (for egoism and poor performance.)!”  Etc.
  3. Real estate agents spend more money on their Personal Promotion than property promotion.
  4. Real estate agents charge too much and do too little. List it  > plant scratched, crooked, rusty framed For Sale sign > shoot lame photos > deliver William (I have no professional training) Hung service > ignore empty Take-One flyer box > run a print ad > lay low till it sells > collect a commission check.

Let’s face it.  Civilians think most sales people are full of crap. Who can blame them. We have a ton to overcome.  Let’s get started…

Our Problem = Lack Of Trust

good (and funny) post. I especially LOVE that the eye color is turning....

Days of slick shyster agents is probably over.  You have to especially care about your clients because it is becoming difficult to get anything done and you have to be "in the trenches" with them.

Laxson - Thanks for the comment.  I think self-promotion is fine, the thing is self promotion should be centered around paying attention to others, not ourselves.  Good point.  

 

Kathleen - I'm with you shoulder to shoulder, making things happen for others.  Then good things happen to me.  Cheers and thanks for the comment.
