It is amazing what you will hear at your favorite dining establishment, even when you don't intend to.
A few evenings ago, my husband and I witnessed a very animated discussion in our favorite seaside restaurant. Two ladies were sitting at the table next to us. Their conversation started out about home prices and then quickly moved to individual Realtors. I'm not sure what these two ladies were drinking, but their conversation started getting pretty loud, so I couldn't help but overhear.
"What is it you have to do these days to find "America's Most Wanted Realtor"? asked the one with martini type glass.
I've been interviewing Realtors since last month and not one of them knows what they are talking about or has any personality!" I'm lookin' for the best and the brightest and here's what I get for my trouble....
One that can spit out numbers, facts and statistics like a typewriter on speed, but doesn't know squat about how to be polite....now what does that say?
Another one that is dressed to the nines! Even hosiery in this blasted heat, but had a handshake like a dead "Red Tide" fish. Eeeauuk! Not the confidence I am looking for!
One that came in smelling like he just rolled out of Burger King's deep fryer in yesterday's clothes..........Buyers would RUN! Smellin' like an onion ring, he was!
Another told me my house was worth about 40 grand more than my neighbor got yesterday...sight unseen! Now how can you price a house you have never seen?
One that drives such a fancy car that he must be a snake to do so well in this market and another that didn't even bring a pen and a pad to his appointment with me. Didn't ask me any questions, just started talking about his commission and not reducing it!
What have I got to do to find someone who really cares about doing what is best for me? What!?!
My husband....always right on que said "Turn around".......and they did!!! With a blush on my face redder than the wine in my glass, I introduced myself.....
Although I will be helping these ladies out the question still remains..............
What characteristics make " America's Most Wanted Realtor?"
