Bad Realtor

Fiduciary duty.


This term refers to the responsibility an agent has to their client. A Realtor is to always have their clients best interest in mind. This includes not disclosing certain bits of information to other agents about their clients.

I recently received an offer from a fellow Realtor on a property I'm representing. This agent called me and stated the following (paraphrased):

"I'm faxing you an offer. This isn't the best they can do, so feel free to counter higher. They really want this house!"

After countering their offer, I received another counter offer from them. This time the agent says:

"I really want them to get this house, so lets try and work this out. Go ahead and counter on this offer."



If you find that your Realtor has compromised your interest by disclosing vital info, get rid of them immediately.

As a Realtor, let me apologies for all of you who have had bad experiences with Realtors. Not all Realtors are stupid or crooked. Find a Realtor you trust.

Did I mention that the Realtor mentioned above is representing family....

Restaurant Conversations

We were eating out on Monday night and overheard the following conversation (paraphrased):

"bla bla bla...Conspiracy in the 2000 election is why Gore lost."
"bla bla bla...Republican house and senate is a sign that our democracy is falling apart."
"bla bla bla...Kennedy assassination conspiracy."
"bla bla bla...Nixon."

This conversation has inspired me to write a book called, "Restaurant Conversations", or something like that.

Let me know if you have heard or if you hear any conversations while eating out that you think are book worthy.

Give me the restaurant name and maybe a title for the conversation.
