Wow, you sound like a real joy to work with. First you want to put your property into the MLS. Then you don't want cooperating brokers showing your property. Doesn't make much sense. You seem to be too emotionally involved. I probably wouldn't even take a listing from you. You seem too difficult. You need to understand that creating good relationships with these other Realtors is much better than burning bridges with them. Don't be impossible. Focus on the main objective and sell the property.

Hey, big R,
That big R u are using most be to justify something small.
You don’t even know me or my story to judge me and I am sure if someone waved
$8,000 dollars in your face you would be more then happy to bend over for it and by the Way for being a so called professional your website lacks it.

P.S. here we go again professional that thinks just because they have a real estate license they are entitle to it all. Get over it is a real estate license not a god certification

P.S. I also have my Florida and Georgia license but I do not brag abut it. I am still trying to figure out the deference between a real estate agent and a used car salesman

Probably not a great statement to make on a forum full of agents that respect our profession.

You obviously think it's better to burn bridges with your local Realtors rather than have them sell your home. Doesn't make sense in the world of business.

I love how you attack my website, that's classic. I haven't even worked on that site in forever anyway. I am definitely a professional when it comes to doing my job though. I am great at what I do. I never said anything about having an ego because I am licensed either, so your comment about me being licensed only for real estate and to get over it, makes no sense either. And yes, my big R logo must mean something small, whatever that means.

FYI, your "HUGE" $8000 is not enough for me to persuay my clients that they should buy your home. I have more respect for myself than that. You make it sound like you are giving away a lot of money, when $8000 is not much at all. You need to get over yourself.

Um, flashpin, you started this thread with a bad attitude toward Realtors, specifically in your little town but you allowed it to spill over onto Realtors in general; i.e., all of us. I find your attitude offensive . . . and really wonder what your motive is for posting this thread.

You might want to really assess whether your attitude is making you any money. You offered that $8k commission, so why not step back and let someone earn it? And then you pay it when that house sells -- and be glad, in today's market, that you sold a house. Pretty simple, really. If you keep going with all this rage you're packing like a loaded firearm, you are going to damage your health . . . And then how would you earn a living?

I do not know what all of you are upset about. My anger is not with all realtors just the hillbilly’s in my town but when someone makes a stupid comment from “Agent 007”
Like “Wow, you sound like a real joy to work with” without even knowing the full story is being ignorant. It looks like he has too much time with nothing to do. Has anyone really read the full forum from the beginning? YES my attitude is with some of the realtors in my town not all. What would u call realtors and brokers that will not show your properties at all even with a 6% commission but when you flash a bonus they are eager to show my properties. I am not ignorant I do my homework so I know what realtors should do and not and when it comes to selling or buying properties in this small town and how they misrepresent sellers and buyers. One is when they list properties with 2,600 square feet but in the public records is listed with 1,700 square feet; you know something is not right. Then you call the local board of realtors and inform them of these properties, but they are the same people that are listing these properties and you can not do anything about it, how do you fight back. This is my last post for right now. Bye!!!!!

I STARTED THIS THREAD AND NOW I AM ENDING IT......

not quite ended.

flash pin,

i must address the name calling. you call the agents "the hillbilly's in my town" YET you want them to help you on a sale after insulting them. i just dont get it.

is it possible that the agents are not showing your property because they are finding that their buyers find more value in other properties? --is that a possibility?-- in todays internet world, buyers not agents are picking the properties that they want to see.

as people we often value our own posessions higher than the same posession owned by another individual. nothing wrong with that, just human nature. ---is it possible that others dont value your properties as you do?--- i know that i value my business plan and think it is better than other peoples business plan... IN REALITY we..agents, builder, loan officer are ALL a dime a dozen. i know (and have proved it time and time again) that i am better than most of my competition, but i also know that there is someone else that can do the same thing that i do any day of the week.

i work mainly with expired listings. since you are an agent i wont go into what an exp or wtdrn is. i can tell you from experience that 99% of them are priced incorectly. if the seller listened to the market they would have sold.


people try and sell for waht tey want to sell for instead of what someone wants to pay..when they dont sell often times i they tell me that they blame their agent...that is one of the biggest problems that i run across on a daily basis.


Has anyone really read the full forum from the beginning?....>>>i have! i noticed that the thread was very civil until this post. please let me cut and paste..

My problem is not being CHEAP. My problem is these hillbilly realtors. This hillbilly’s do not like outsiders especially when those outsiders are building a better product then they are. Sure they will let you in there small town as long as you buy there crap, but once you become a threat to them you are boycotted. These realtors have no ethic at all. My properties are in the same price range as other new and old properties in the area with more features then any of these hillbilly’s has ever seen in any other property in this small town and it is not being shown. One of the agents from my listing office asked me to do a presentation to a buyer because they could not explain my entire homes feature. Mind you I gave then a two full page printout of this features. A few days ago I wanted to test my theory to see what lowlife realtors would do, so I told my agent to give an $8,000 bonus to the selling agent beside the 6% commission. My theory was right now every lowlife that did not show my properties before are trying to show it now. So super realtor it has nothing to do with being CHEAP………

Know I do not want them showing my house. You can be sure of this that I will make it my mission to make it as DIFFICULT as possible for them to get those $8,000 dollars now…….


P.S. this town has almost everyone in the real estate business building homes. They know nothing about selling a home so you can imagine what type of homes they are building.


-----------------------------
what i think flamed people the most was the name calling. nobody wants to be called a hillbilly.

and then

I will make it my mission to make it as DIFFICULT as possible for them to get those $8,000 dollars now…….

the offering something and then taking it away is like going back on your word. i have paid out things before that were based on my word alone because i dont want anyone to even think that i would change my word! 8k is great for a bonus, but i wont put my clients interest aside for any amount of money. if i did then would not be able to look at myself in the mirror. i do very well for myself, but i know that money is not a solution and there is more to life than money. to tell the truth..i dont care about money at all!!!!!!!!!! >>>>>>>>i love what i do and the money truly does follow<<<<<<<<<<<< it shows on a daily basis and people use me because of that. i am more knowledgavle than most because i learn how things work not because i must learn to get the job done, but because i want to learn everything that i can. 8k....

if you offered it and then went back on it i would make sure to get it based on nothing more than principal!


look, i am not trying to be hard on you, but realize that you and the agents want the home sold! and to exclude a brokerage does not make sense. my office alone has over 130 agents. if you had a run in with one of them and disliked them does that mean that i am a bad agent?????? for crying out loud i have not even met most of the agents in my own office. i work from home much of the time. '

if you have a bad experience with canadian while traveling to niagra falls, does that make every canadian bad? what proof is there that anyone at that brokerage did something unethical? if it is common knowledge did the agent get punished? agents are very big on self policing, so i find it hard to beleive that somehting truly unethical went unnoticed

Another builder with inventory they can't sell and it's everyone else's fault.

Now that's what you think.

I strongly suggest you just go FSBO.

And flash_pin (aka Tony Moore) will be a FSBO who will, by Law, also have to Disclose to Buyers that he is a LICENSEE !

Well, first a real estate agent sells real estate, and a used car salesman sells used cars.

I like the used car salesman where I bought my Honda, he was very nice and very professional, and he even dressed nicely.

Flash pin just does not like agents. I think most people that have an attitude such as his have gotten burned by going into a RE transaction unrepresented, and blame the other agent for doing their job by truly representing their client.

And he showed how professional he is. I doubt any of us will now lump all builders into one group with flash pin being the shining example of a typical builder.
