I received an email today rambling on about the number of foreclosures that are anticipated to hit the market 'shortly' and in these reamblings a statement was made on how we can make a 'killing'.
I truely take offence to this sort of comment - no wonder the public look at us Realtors as vultures.
How on earth can working hard for your money, spending hours and hours on the telephone, doing research, counselling sellers and much more be construed as 'making a killing', when it finally gets to the closing table - IF it gets to the closing table.
Please people, I know you are trying to drum up your own business and a lot of what is written is hype - but please don't insinuate that I am only in this industry to make a 'killing'.
It needs to be made known that Realtors are here to help people in distress if they can, they are here to advise the consumer of their rights and allow them to make the decision on how to deal with their loan - we are not here to 'make a killing' - lets encourage the banks to deal with the consumer to the consumers advantage, not 'ours'.
Let's be a little more diplomatic on how we advertise our expertise.
