WHEN AGENTS DECEIVE PEOPLE
I just got a very angry email from a customer whose property I listed on the MLS last Wednesday as “MLS Entry Only”. And I got angry myself. Not with her although she needs to read stuff more attentively in order to not get confused later. I got angry with the agent she talked to.
 I, of course, don’t care if my customers talk to other agents, they’re free to do so. But what really pissed me off was the amount of deceptive bullshit that “agent” threw at her.
That agent told her that she was listed under “Exclusive Agency” although the listing clearly says “MLS Entry Only” and that other agents never check - as I understand from her email - anything but “Exclusive Right To Sell - Full Service” listings because, apparently, they won’t get paid their commission. What a bunch of crap!
That “agent” even went further telling my customer that there is some kind of separate “special resource” (???) for all non-exclusive listings.
It’s clear to me why that other agent may have wanted to ”impress” my customer: he/she probably wanted to hit her for a full 6% listing. But you can impress people without deceiving them. Unless, of course, deception is all the skills you got.
