I got an interesting phone call today from another agent., usually the "interesting" questions or comments come in the form if an email or a blog comment, but this agent had enough free time to call me.
"Why do you waste your time working bank owned homes and your bpo's her in xxx town? she asked followed by 'This is not (your) area, you should give those bank owned listings and bpo's to me that you complete up here and save yourself some time."
Hmmmmmm.... was the first thought...
Why do i waste MY time?
What makes an area exclusiverly 'Yours"?
Why again can i not work in your town?
Are you telling me or asking me for my Listings and BPO's?
Do you think i would really give you my Listings and BPO's?
What were you expecting me to say?
Really..... you called me asking me this?
I can go on and on but seeing i was having a good day and got caught off guard... i simply said "No Thank You" I am fine and hung up before i said something she would regret, yes her because i might mean it....
LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK.

That's someone who doesn't have enough know-how to get her own business... otherwise, she'd be minding her own business! |

That's a hard one to explain, my guess is that she made the decision to call you without consulting others that would have suggested it was a really bad idea. But then again, people do foolish things all the time...

Wow-and the fact that she thought she was doing you a favor too! Pretty aggressive but not well thought out I am afraid. Good luck with her because it probably is not over in her mind. :)

Hello Scott:
Say what? Perhaps she would like to take over your listings as a sub agent or perhaps a 75% referral fee back to you? She can work them all day long and you still earn the lion's share.

You should have told her that you are more than happy to have her show and sell the listing but you don't need her to be the listing agent to do that.

Scott: Interesting appeal< Sounds like she has some issues that will probably prevent her from remaining in this field for the long term.

Wow. Sounds like an Old School Realtor, or someone very protective of "Their" Farm or "Their" Turf.
Hanging up was the right thing to do, Scott.

Oh give me a break Scott...hasn't she heard of the internet and marketing? I will take listings in any area where I will drive to the listing and show it...if I wouldn't want to drive that far, I refer it. But with a good internet marketing program, our business is far reaching...go get em Scott.
