I know you do.

Of course, yes, Praful. Though I am more on listing side.

I am generally on the selling side, and there are those I really enjoy more than others.

Dipti nailed this one!

I love working with some agents and know it will be a good experience every time.

I write the offer for my buyers. Not for an agent. Then we wait to see the response from the other side. We will handle things according to that response. 

I have done this a couple of times Praful Thakkar although it's usually only by modifying the Seller's customized sales contract. I find that they rarely have the Buyer's best interest in mind. 

I don't care if the seller is the listing agent. I do care about who the agent is, however, as there are those in my area I never need to work with again.

Fortunately I have not had any experience that makes me cringe. 

Of course, like many of you, I did have a negative experience working with some agents. If I represent buyers, I'll just disclosure my experience ( since I already know what likely to expect) and move on with an offer. I agree with Noah.

Yet, I was in multiple situations when the reputation of the agent sealed the deal, and the offer not always was the highest.

I do as I am told. I work for my clients Praful and they direct me.

I am certainly more enthused when I know the "other agent" is one I respect and can count to  do their part of the transaction. When that isn't the case, however, rather than "cringe", I steel myself and get ready to do more than my job if necessary, to keep things moving smoothly.  I am sure, if we cringe inside, we all  rise to the occasion on the outside!
