I GET NO RESPECT


I GET NO RESPECT! We all remember this line made famous by Rodney Dangerfield. This line is our theme for today. So before you read on take your drum out and place it by your side. After each line make a drum roll and hit the cymbal. Not as good as Dangerfield but you get the idea.

Why is it that real estate agents get no respect?

We are so ugly that... (drum roll)
We are so big that... (drum roll)
We are so dumb that...(drum roll)

Unfortunately The Wells Team has been dealing with sellers, buyers, and fellow agents who put this line into practice.

A few examples:
Fellow agents swearing at us.
Fellow agents calling us "junior" and telling us to get our act together.
Fellow agents "lecturing" us like we are schoolchildren
Fellow agent arguing with our broker only to find that this one year agent was wrong
Fellow agent calling us at 9:30 at night to yell at us over offers on homes
Fellow agent fighting with us over the removal of bathroom mirrors in a home

Buyers who think its comical to have us rebid on homes in $1000 increments.
Buyers who expect us to drop everything on a moments notice to show them houses
Sellers who have you redesign their home only to rearrange it after you leave
Sellers who want your expertise on the market only to argue with you on pricing of their home.
Sellers fighting over $2500 in a market where a sale is very difficult
Sellers fighting over appraisals

If you did a drum roll after every one of these phrases then you should be worn out by now.

The Wells Team prides itself on the way it does business. We make it a point to respect our buyers, sellers,fellow agents, and other real estate professionals.

The next time you deal with a realtor we ask that you treat them with the respect that they deserve.

Please don't make us take out the drum!
