Real Estate Agents- Satanic Minions that walk the earth?

[Lloyd Blankfein]

It is my belief that 99% of these brokers are abusing glue, nasally.

This guy and myself have been going back and forth on a lease (commercial) and his price is laughable.

I have told him to provide comps, nothing.

Even comps that are 70% of his lease rate, nothing.

Mostly he dodges questions and tries to upsell features that are ridiculous or just redundant. A couple days ago, he presents a comp from 2 counties away. lol

I really like the property, so I guess I'll just continue grinding a ho down.

I work with them all day everyday. Keep in mind few are educated and 90% of the business comes from 10% of all the agents. Takes nothing to get your license and really only a handful of them know what they are doing.

^This is correct.
But to be fair, in OP's case, is the real estate agent also the property owner/manager? Or are we talking about a simple middleman bound by the desires of an out-of-touch owner/manager?

The latter. Le sigh.

The owner has an awesome story himself, verifiable by ol' google. He had a restraining order put on him by his business partner. Know what he does? Hires a kick boxer to sit outside his partners office.

I was going to say, the RE license is like the glorified cosmetology license for women, eh?

"We'll, I can't cut hair so..... I'll get a realtors license, yay!"

Lol, seriously. Well, the good news is after enough beration I got him down 60% on the asking price.

Now, it's time to start sneaking in all kinds of other fun stuff.

I need my price at 30-40% of the original asking.

just fired an agent today. our vendors doing work on the house said she missed several showings with prospective buyers, showed up in pajamas for others and was cursing in front of prospective buyers. what in the blue fuck makes you think that is ok? she acted surprised when i fired her too. dear lord. i think she had a drinking problem but really i dont care anymore.

Every salesperson and real estate agent needs to commit to the professionalism required in commercial and retail property.It is not important for an agent to be specialist in sales, leasing, or property management but they just need to understand the links between these three disciplines.

lol awesome. fucking dumbshits.

[sleewell]

yeah and when i called her out on it she didnt confirm or deny it. she basically was like, well if you dont like me maybe you should work with this other agent at our office bc he is a christian.

yes, bc religion is the issue here and not the fact that you are fucktarded.

[Lloyd Blankfein]

I think the big problem I have with some some agents, is that they don't understand their role. You are a liaison between two people where a big chunk of monies is about to pass through.

I could be wrong, but in commercial realty, if you have to 'sell' someone on a property, you've already lost it. At least in my case, I don't even pick up the phone without committing a huge amount of due diligence on the subject. So by the time I make first-point contact to a broker, I'm privy and hot on the dirt. The only thing YOU need to be concerned with is getting that price to where I want it.

If there's some spectacular fact about the property no one knows about, like jesus lived there one time, then feel free to disclose. Otherwise, an amateur broker can really dig a hole if he's not careful. Like this last broker. He disclosed that the well performance was 750- which he thought was a good idea to share. Except I talked to the neighbors N, S, W and E of the property before I called and they're all pulling 950. My counter reflected that tidbit and I gave credit to the broker for letting me know. lol.

You must choose property according to your convenience.It is good that payment can be given in installments.
