10 Commandments for How Realtors Should Treat One Another
10 Commandments for how REALTORS® should treat one another:
1. Thou shalt always identify yourself on the phone when answering your phone or for making calls.
2. Thou shalt only email and not call for feedback.
3. Thou shalt not leave voice mail requesting a call back for showing feedback.
4. Thou shalt not assume the other REALTOR® knows why your commission cheque is late. He or she is not hiding it. You are just not that special that he or she would take the time to try and hide it from you. Patience my friend.
5. Thou shalt notify the listing agent when you cannot make a showing.
6. Thou shall NOT make the seller the showing coordinator. Please note they never notify of pendings or callbacks to confirm. Can you say frustrating?
7. Thou shalt always have your cell number on your feature sheet for showing confirmation. Do you enjoy calling trunk numbers, leaving a message, waiting for a callback only to have shown 10 properties by the time you get a confirmation back? Too late buddy. Too bad for your seller too.
8. Thou shalt clearly convey the location of the lockbox.
9. Thou shalt never go back on your word.
10. Thou shalt never sell yourself short. If you do the above you’ll be worth every penny.
Respectively Yours,
