Why Not Hire A Broke Realtor?
June 11th, 2010 . by Jon ModeneThey need the work.
They are hungry.
They can be there 24/7 for you . . .
There are so many reasons to hire the financially destitute Realtor. It’s just that none of them accrue to your benefit.
And, seriously, there is just a little bit of downside risk.
From my observations this week, talking to dissatisfied former clients of broke Realtors, and Realtors who are unable to sell real estate today:
A. The Financially Challenged Realtor is not going to be there. They are not going to return your call. Or have staff and support to do so. You are going to be on your own.
B. The Financially Challenged Realtor is not going to invest much money in marketing your house. They don’t have any money to invest. And if they did they need it for themselves and their survival.
C. The Financially Challenged Realtor is going to be distracted. Seriously distracted. With a new job. With court problems. With other career issues. Think that won’t hurt the sale and marketing of your listing? Sure.
D. The Financially Challenged Realtor is not going to have the best and most up to date technology and software. No office to take an interested potential buyer to. No color printer to make brochures for you with. No scanner to digitize paperwork with. No wide angle lens for the camera that makes your home more attractive on line. No . . . you get the picture.
E. The Financially Challenged Realtor is not going to do the right thing when they should. They may be desperate. And the blood of desperation in the pool with your equity is not a good mixture.
F. The Financially Challenged Realtor is not going to have the judgment needed to effectively protect you from scams and scammers. They will instead try to sell you on uplines, travel deals, pills and potions, and magic software that will help you pay off your mortgage early (for an investment of $3000 up front for the magic program).
Help yourself . . . if you feel sorry for a broken real estate agent, give them a donation. Don’t donate your home’s value.
