I had a mini meltdown today. Before you’re wondering if I am about to vent, I already did. I meditated in the afternoon, went to the gym, bought sushi & sake at the groceries, read some interesting links on twitter and now I am back to “normal”.
I normally like to enjoy my weekends relaxing at the beach and reading a good book. But yesterday all day, I spent it showing properties to my client that hired me to list their home. No homes really piqued their interest except a foreclosure that we couldn’t get into because the realtor didn’t answer and it wasn’t on the MLS (multiple listing service).
Since I know this foreclosure and REO business, I told my clients that this realtor probably wanted to take the whole commission for himself or only show it to his select agents. Of course this proved to be the case. I had warned them that it would be next to impossible to get this house. My client called the number after I suggested her to. By a stroke of amazing luck, the realtor is a current client of hers. He made it very clear to my client that he was not going to cooperate with me. (more…)
