Doctor Real Estate Agent

By
Real Estate Agent with Zion Realty

"Sorry to tell you this.... but you did not get the house..."  These are the words I'm sure many real estate agents have had to utter to a client at one point or another.  Its never an easy conversation, but in real estate it has to be done sometimes.  When this happens, I feel like I'm a doctor giving bad news to a patient.  That look in their eyes or the sound of their voice says it all.  Heartbroken, distraught, disappointed, befuddled, etc you name the adjective and I'm sure that is how they feel.  

Having to explain to a client why they may have not have got the house is ultimately just as difficult and just trying to convince them that house was not the house right for them and we'll get back on the horse and find them another one is a task in itself.  The doctor agent part of me consoles for a second and then remotivates to find the next house! It's a part of real estate that I am learning how to handle situation by situation.  I wish I could say "here take two of these houses and call me in the morning!" Hahaha! Have a great day Rainers!

 

How often had you had to play "doctor agent?"

It is tough...I write this as one who just submitted an offer an hour ago for a home with multiple offers on the table!

These are the parts of the job that some people (non real estate folk) either forget we have to deal with or just don't consider as part of the job. We are so much more than sales people! Doctors, therapists, referees, the list goes on and on!

Good analogy here.  Sometimes it seems as if we are in the "bad news" business, instead of being in real estate.

In my 17 years I've had to deliver bad news a lot! As a matter of fact I had to do it two weeks ago. It never gets any easier.
