Birmingham Real Estate: You've Got Options: June 2010

Have You Ever Said That You Would Never Co-Op With A Particular Agent Again....

And then behaved as if that were a true statement.  Thus far in my real estate career, I have not co-oped with the same agent twice.  And in some cases that's a huge sigh of relief.  No matter how difficult or annoying one agent may be to work with, it behooves us to remain professional at all time.  We may be tempted to loose our cool because of the lackluster way a co-op agent may handle business, but in all honesty, no matter how much we wish we never had to work with a particular agent again, it's very possible that it's unavoidable. Hopefully if you do end up working with that agent again, s/he'll have grown and remember (and perhaps even thank you) for being the professional that you are.

If you're currently working on a co-op transaction with an agent that you deem difficult, before you venture into tomorrow or even today, be determined to be the one that takes the high road.  Overlook both ignorance, shortcomings, and unprofessional behavior of others. Chances are, their client feels the same way about the agent as you do and their clients may coming looking for you the next time they buy or sell a home.

Have a Go-Giver Day!
