The fast track from agent to defendant.

Richard makes some great points.  Not giving an offer to the seller is one way of finding yourself in litigation.

There are times that we get an offer that we know won't fly, but it is not our decision to make.  WE must present the offer and let the seller make the decision...they may want to counter.  Heck you have a live buyer.

The fast track from agent to defendant by Richard WeisserI read several posts written by real estate agents over the last few days that left me puzzled.

These posts referenced ancillary attributes such as the cooperating agent's deportment or offer terms that would affect whether or not the AGENT would accept their offers.

And that sentiment is set in writing and entered into the record of cyberspace.

It is NOT up to the agent to decide if an offer is acceptable or not. It is NOT up to the agent to decide if they are or are not willing to work with another agent or not.

Failure to present an offer due to any preconceived notions about the buyer, the buyer’s agent or the terms of the offer is the fast track to trouble.

 

Admitting to it in writing makes it all the more troublesome.

William, what part of real estate school did these agents miss?  Didn't catch Richard's post, so thanks for bringing it around again.

I agree with Micheal.  I am thinking we need a lot more training and not just for the new agents.

Great comments for sure.  This can happen so easily.  Agents are over concerned about themselves.
