After I wrote the last con man article. I found the other kind of con man to realtors.
The could be man or woman and different shape or color. They either talk or act like buyers and sellers but they are not. I have not figure out their motives yet. It all start as: I received a call from Roger.
He wanted to see my listing. I said sure I will have an open house on Saturday why don't you just stop by. Roger said no! I have some plan this labor day weekend. Can you show me today?
mistake 1 of realtor:=> Don't qualify him. I did not ask him how much you can afford? Did you talk to a lender? I won't show it unless you are qualified by my lender.
I went ahead show the home. He acted a bit strange. When he shook my hands, he want to touch longer of my hands. I think this is kind of fishy. I did my duty to show him. When I showed him one of the bedroom, when I pointed one feature and turn back, He was just on my way. I just hit him by accident. He stood too close to me in the back.
I knew I need to find out if he can buy this home. I sit down and asked him:"Roger, do you like the home? he said yes! I asked again:"Do you know if you can purchase it? He said:"How much is down payment?" I answered :" 20% of purchase price which will be $160,000. Do you have it?' no answer,
mistake 2 of realtor:=> Waste value time and gas. I don't know how many time I waste my energy with non qualified buyers and sellers.
This is our business. We have NO fixed income. It is my mistake to waste my time. This con man just want to have some human contact. Don't let the con man rob our valuable resources.
