Agent Resistance - How Would You Respond?

Sounds like a tough situation.  I would probably have to be there to give my response.  Hope that things turn out well.

Maria,

Interesting post.

My response would probably be..."I'm so sorry you feel that way.  I would hope you would re-consider.  We all work hard in this business and we would be doing a disservice to ourselves and our clients if we don't try to work together and sell homes.

If I were her, I wouldn't respond at all.  Obviously she is doing something right to increase her sales by almost 30% in one year.  Be a professional, and walk away with your head up high,

That seems like a short-sighted statement on the agent's part.  What if one of the listings was perfect for one of her buyers?  

I would let that agent's comments go in one ear and out the other.  I've come across agents that have made some pretty rude or obtuse comments over the years, say at a broker's open or in the office.  And so often those words come out of the mouths of fairly new or inexperienced agents.
