One reason real estate brokers have a generally-less-than-stellar reputation as professionals is that because a large amount of the time, the client is unhappy.
Unhappy beyond our control –
And unhappy people like to lay blame…
Usually on “us”.
The buyer loses a property because they’re outbid –
The broker gets blamed…
The seller loses the buyer because the property is overpriced –
The broker gets blamed…
The board turns down a buyer (for some unknown reason)-
The broker gets blamed…
Is the key to being a good broker having the ability to seek out and work with generally happy people who see things as they are?
I think so!
