The Six Most Aggrevating Strategies of Listing Agents

It's all about posturing and one-upmanship.
But why do people feel they must resort to such strategies. My opinion is that they don't work (although I believe agents who use these DO think they do, because of the ultimate outcome, which would have been the same either way.

Here they are-- the Six most annoying habits of Listing Agents -- At least in my book:

  1. Get all out of breath, making an argument in which the pace, tempo and intensity of their speech impairs their thinking so that they don't know when to stop.
  2. Say one thing on the phone then write something just a little different in the confirming Email.
  3. Push and threaten that their Seller is going to back out of the deal.
  4. Say, I just showed this property this afternoon and I expect these people to make an offer tomorrow."
  5. Say, in the middle of negotiations that the Seller is "not going to give the property away for anything under $ X . Nine months later the deal closes with another buyer at $X minus $50,000.
  6. Say "The Seller isn't really sure she wants to sell."
