"Your price point isn't high enough for me."
Apparently, the real estate agent simply decided that the target price was beneath him, thinking more of luxury brands than the well-prepared buyer, whose almost-perfect credit score was 836. He never pulled any properties to show, ended up quickly waving the woman to the front door of the office.
The experience was so inconsequential to his everyday that even when reminding him about that past conversation, he had an immediate amnesiatic response. That ready, willing and able buyer went on to purchase a FSBO property that perfectly fit the lifestyle of a single mother with two small children.
The next peasant who's dismissed may be the one who quietly builds a beautiful, successful life. That buyer was me. He showed me that some agents put themselves first with practiced superiority. He also proved that I never needed his expertise or assistance to make an informed decision after all.
Arrogance to that degree is a business plan with an expiration date and a form of weakness, not the ultimate market edge. Prove me wrong!
