First off: a welcome it’s great to be able to be with you today

33rd consecutive livestream

I’ve been wronged. We have an hour, it’s New Year’s Eve Day and we need to air grievances

Why am I the way I am in real estate? I’ve been through the wars. Crazy, frustrating things that would break a lot of people. Let’s go over them and see if I can let these things go. Therapy

1. One of my first listings was hijacked by an agent. The woman met with the parents of the buyers and told them there was a sinkhole in the backyard

2. That time when I had a good friends parents not use me for their listing. Like seriously, didn’t know of any agents and only knew me and yet refused

3. Represented a buyer for a large transaction with the title company I always used. There were 6 people who needed to sign off on the deal, one of the people was divorced and his x wife needed to sign. We got all the signatures needed. 2 months later, title company comes back and says we need a different form signed because they LOST it. So unprofessional…I let them know that this was ridiculous. It wasn’t just a mistake either…the title company is meticulous about its documents. We don’t get paid if the title company doesn’t clear the payments. The company told me I was in the wrong…I left them. Pro tip: Don’t accuse your clients of doing something wrong and then get upset when they let you know it’s not appreciated.

I had a friend who was moving into St. Louis from Chicago. They wanted a house with a pool. I was working one afternoon and they called me out of the blue wanting to see a house. I immediately dropped what I was doing and showed them the house.

Listed a house for a lady and we did an excellent job. It was a very nice deal and we everyone was happy. A few years later, got the call from the same lady and she wanted me to sell her parents home. Well, she said that her parents were going to be moving and I should take a look at the house. I went over. The father was laying in the dining room in a bed delirious. Seller asked me what to do..I said we could sell the house as is, or we could sell it with occupancy. The house was going to sell because it was on a large lot.

The time we represented a buyer all the way to closing when they absolutely just decided on a whim they weren’t buying a condo. Like a 110k condo where there was maybe a 1,000 escrow check hanging in the balance. I didn’t like my buyer on that one.

I got a call on New Years day 2020. A woman that was in my farm called and wanted to take a look at an 1800 sq ft. home about 5 minutes from my house.

The time we got sued in small claims court for a deal that should have never been in small claims
a. The agent was new and part of a huge team…no oversight and had no idea what he was doing
b. The buyers were supposed to be sophisticated people but they were pretenders
c. The amount requested was ridiculous considering it wasn’t even legal in the amount was more than small claims

I listed and sold a house for a woman. We got a great price for the house, and she was thrilled with what we did. There was another agent who came to see the house but wanted to sell it for 60-70k less than what it was worth because she pulled the wrong comps. This particular house was in a better school district. She was moving to her “forever home” Well, 5 years later, she calls me.

The time when I got a call from a lady that said she wanted to buy a house I had listed and she wanted me to sell her house. I didn’t believe it. I did end up representing her to buy the house, and I did end up selling her house. Never believed it. But on the sale of her house. The other agent was an idiot. Asked for all kinds of repairs that were unnecessary. I had an inkling to move on from them but I didn’t.

I listed a house as is. I didn’t know anything about the house and I didn’t know the people very well. The house was well worn. I’d say it was being lived in fully. When I listed it, I had heard a neighbor was interested in buying it. She called me and said that she wanted to see it.
Bonus, if there is time…the lady that I tried to help buy a house and now she is in a deal with her husband to pay a stupid amount of money for a house not listed but next to the house that was listed.
