10 Things Your Agent Should Never Say
I've been thinking lately about the goofy things I've heard some real estate agents say. The words seem to fall out of their mouths before they've had time to consider about what they have said. You can read those amusing things in agent blogs online at web sites such as Active Rain. Unfortunately, a few of these agents present such an awful picture of themselves that they pretty much guarantee you'll never call them.
So, I've put together a list. It's similar to the David Letterman Top 10 list. I've saved the best one for last, but it's possible only real estate agents will see the humor in that one . . . read more about Things Your Agent Should Never Say.

Hi, just a quick response in connection with the comment you made about new agents. First of all, to clarify my position on the subject, I am not a new agent by any means. However, I think you need to reflect on the moment in history when you were a new agent and see if being a new agent had anything to do with your being able to properly handle the Buyer or Seller you desired to represent.
Being a new agent should not be a cause for blacklisting. If that were the case none of us would live to be called an experienced agent.
That’s what family is for, heh, heh.
Seriously, when I started in the business, I partnered with an experienced agent. Sure, agents have to start somewhere, but let me ask you this: if you went to see a lawyer for a pressing legal matter, would you want an experienced lawyer or a novice who just passed the bar exam? Most people want experience, that’s all I’m saying. Good luck to you in your career.
