As a Real Estate Broker, I do my best to be a professional. There are times I know that my words and actions can be taken out of context.
Yet, I strive on toward helping those that want my help.
And, every now and then, I learn "things" that shake me to the core. Just recently, I found out that a "new" client, who told me he had just drove by several properties in actuality did make contact with another broker about a building he has listed.
(If you don't understand why that is a bad thing, I will explain. If you are a buyer and you contact a listing broker about that property, if you bring me into the situation after making the contact, YOU, as the Buyer, are now responsible to compensate me. Since you directly contacted the Listing agent, you made them the procuring cause of a sale. Thus, they do NOT have to split any commission with me.)
So, I know a lot of you novice real estate Buyers don't understand this concept. But, if you venture out into the real estate world, make contact with a listing real estate broker or agent about a property with their sign on it, bringing in an agent post that contact, you are responsible for compensating the agent.
Any questions?
