We all care about clients whose listing has expired and, in most cases, ask that they continue their listing after the expiration. I had a very unusul request and I thought I'd share it with all of you to see if anyone else has encountered anything similar.
One of my listings expired and, of course, I asked that the seller continue with me. I had done everyting right, I always tell my Sellers when I initially list their home that I will always tell them the truth whether it's good or bad news; and, I kept him informed every step of the way with documentation to prove what I was telling him. Here in Northeast Ohio we have a lot of seller's remorse.
To make a long story short...My seller works with the unions helping to start unions in companies where there are none. He told me he would relist with me, but my Broker would have to reduce his part of the commission but mine must stay the same. I sent an email explaining how the commissions work, but have not heard from him since, nor have I seen his house in the MLS with another Realtor. Because we have had such a drastic reduction in prices, I believe he is probably trying to sell by owner.
Anyone else had a request similar?
