I'm a Dallas Realtor.
A while back, I co-oped with a listing agent whose license hangs with a well-known Dallas real estate firm. It was obvious from the beginning that the agent not only knew the ropes, but practiced them. Practiced them so well that I can say here and now that person has to be within the top five in competency of all of the agents I've worked with since 1964.
There couldn't be a Realtor on this planet who, if they worked with this agent once, wouldn't say it was technically an incredible experience. And believe me, that's a rare bird these days.
There was one problem: The agent lied to me over and over again. I mean big lies. One after another; all told to me straight-faced. Lies that didn't gain the agent any ground; just lies for the sake of telling a lie.
If that agent worked for me, I'd fire the agent, and then I'd morn the loss forever.
What is it about the real estate business that somehow encourages this kind of behavior? Whatever it is, I abhor it, don't you?
What about the Realtor you used when you bought your home? How about those you come in contact with in the business you're in?
