While on floor duty or prime time what ever you or your office call it, I received 3 calls. 2 of the calls were home owners who were considering put there house on the market.
The first thing both of them wanted to know what my fees were going to be? My answer was 6 or 8 % depending what we could agree too and if I didn't get an offer they would accept they wouldn't owe me anything. Both of them were looking for a discount agent. I explain to them, they should interview some agents and see if they could find one, they think could do the best job and get their house sold. That wasn't important to them, only a discount.
I feel sorry for all the discount agencies and the agents who hang their license with them. I've never ask my doctor, dentist, barber for a discount. Because I don't want to insult my doctor, dentist, barber and other professionals. The same people who ask me for a discount to list their house would not ask their to doctor, dentist, lawyer, barber for a discount. So what give them the right to openly ask us too work for nothing.
Who's to blame for their attitude toward us. We are! Because we're only sales people not professionals. We put down on each other and do what ever we can to get the deal. So if you want to give away your services, go ahead discount all you want too.
For me I'm worth 10%. I don't discount!
