Poor "ANY AGENT SMITH"

[Myka M.]

Have you found a lazy agent who either didn't know what he was doing or didn't want to put in an offer for such a low price. I have been finding alot of this lately.

I attempted to work with a buyers agent once... no go... he was afraid to put in the offers I gave him because HE felt they were too low. Only thing you can do is move on :idea: the market is crazy right now and the weird thing is there are agents out there that would rather NOT get paid than put in an investors "low ball" offer.

Example: I just offered 17,000 for a HUD home that was listed at $27,000. The Realtor took all my info and said she would put in the offer... she didn't. I had someone else do it after checking the site several times to see when the offer was placed, it never was. The offer was accepted after actually being placed through my new agent, meanwhile this lady... "any Agent Smith" we'll call her, insists she put in the offer and it was rejected. I am still playing along with her... "oh look 17,000 the offer was accepted, was that the offer you put in?" I ask her holding back from a deep gut laugh, knowing that was my offer through another agent.

Needless to say, i haven't heard from her since... I call... LOL! My new agent will now get commission on the HUD sale and what I resell the home for. Plus all my future business that she can handle the commission may not be much but as my new agent says... It beats a blank.

I don't know about you but I would rather get several small commissions that add up at the end of the year than one semi large commission every few months. How about taking the small commissions and adding them in with the larger ones, in Layman's terms it's called work.

Poor Any Agent Smith She Lost out! Who knows what these guys are thinking these days!

Anyone else have issues with Realtors lately?
