Real Estate Radio USA : The Moron Stage of Business
Do some agents arbitrarily choose not to show buyers FSBO listings? Mr. Melby in Milton says they do. According to him - and his supporters - FSBO owners tend to be “Kookie,” and represent “more work,” so are therefore not worth the bother.
Do some agents arbitrarily not show you listings because they don’t get paid enough? Mr. Melby in Milton says they do.
This admitted practice by real estate agents, spouted publicly on the Trulia Voices forum, started a heated debate which carried all the way over to Real Estate Radio USA’s August 7th show. Here is Mr. Melby’s quote from the Trulia Voices thread that spurred the dispute:
“Many real estate brokers also skip showing listings that offer only 2%. Why waste a buyer on 2% if other properties are offering 2.5% or 3%”
Not only did this quote expose Mr. Melby’s gross sales tactics, it also set off Territory’s very own Marla Mullen on a rant that landed her on Real Estate radio this past Thursday. She was given the opportunity to express live her opinion about why it is so difficult to trust any %-paid real estate agent (eh hem, that means almost all of them). (FYI, Mr Melby was also offered the opportunity to “defend” his statements but declined … pretty sure we can all guess why).
