Thank you Paul!

Why don’t realtors adopt the full-transparency idea?

Since the beginning of time, there has been an old wife’s tale that agents can’t divulge anything about the offers they’ve received. It’s a bunch of hooey!

It says right in the contract that nothing is confidential.

Why don’t agents think about other methods? Why don’t they question authority?

It’s because it is so safe and comfortable being vague. They are PETRIFIED of saying the wrong thing and screwing up – so they just say nothing at all, to the detriment of everyone involved, especially their client.

Let’s strive to be better salespeople!
