Do sellers agents even exist anymore

[Anonymous]

OP's comment is too stupid to deserve a thread.

LOl! This is not true at all. I haven't met one agent in my life that care of his/her clients. They just want to push on a quick sale and then forget about the client unless there is a chance of more business. This is one profession where peoples' trust is as low as cars salesman or a politician.

NP this doesn’t ring true at all. For one thing, you have probably done but a handful for real estate transactions in your life — so stop projecting your extremely limited experience as the norm.

And before you accuse me (because you are so tiresome), I am not an agent nor am I tied to the industry in any way. I just find comments like this to be dumb, offensive and arrogant. You should be shamed into never sharing your invalid opinions again.

NP. I ran a company that worked in a field that real estate agents interacted with a lot and personally observed tens of thousands of transactions. I oversaw, through subordinates, no less than 100,000 transcations.

I have seen some agents who look out for their clients interests but they are exceedingly rare IME. Certainly not close to even 5%, maybe less than 1% The number that overtly work against their clients interest is drastically greater.

How many agents have you worked with? 1, 5, 10? I guess that makes you an expert on the behavior of all realtors. lol.

I have worked with more than 100 and have sold and bought more than 50+ properties in my life. I have never met a single one who is not shady. It is the profession with a very low trust so don't think yourself to be an anomaly because you are not and agents are dime a dozen. They start calling and kissing a**e when there is a chance of sale otherwise they wouldn't even care about anyone. may be you need to get out of this profession because the commission is going down and there might be some respect left for you in front of your friends and family.

No, you have not. You are a lying liar who lies.

None of what you say rings true at all. You are a lying liar who lies.

So essentially, you're saying PP is a real estate agent.

Ok, Mr/Ms Agent. You are in the best profession and most ethical and moral professional out there. You have taken a lot of education and know all the laws and policies in and out. LOL

A better question is why are there so many cheapskates when it comes to real estate agents? All y’all ever do is complain about them. Do you want them to work for free?

[Anonymous]

Never trust an agent and think that they are talking in your favor. They are after easy money and wouldn't care if you go bankrupt tomorrow.

They did that with me and I was very strict with them on pushing something that is making my bottom line less. You need to set boundaries because a lot of these are not educated and unprofessional.

+1 Realtors will often try to get the seller to put $$$ into their house to sell. However, this generally nets less money to the seller because they won't get their costs back. Realtors don't care if the seller nets less. They just want the seller to put as much money as possible into the house so it's easier and quicker for the realtor to sell.

Sellers should just declutter, fix broken items, touch up paint if needed, and deep clean. Stage if the realtor pays for it. If not, then spend a small amount on accessories like new sofa pillows if needed to make the place look more updated.

Seller's agents have always looked out for themselves. It's just that the market has changed, so now they're trying to negotiate the sellers down so they can get their commission.
