We Tell it Like It Is

10. People that have their home up for sale but consistently turn down showings because its inconvenient for them.

9. When you FINALLY get a showing for the properties like I described above (after numerous requests) and the house is total crap. All the fuss over THAT?!

8. Real estate agents that are too busy to return phone calls.

7. Buyers freaking out and that go out of their way to request showings of homes from me and then don't return my calls when I try and set up times w/them.

6. Listing agents that don't tell their sellers that my buyers & I are coming and we show up on a Sunday morning unannounced while theyt are still in bed & get yelled at for it.

5. Sellers that think their homes are worth $75,000 more than they really are and I'm the one that's wrong about the price, not them.

4. Parents that tell their kids (my clients) that the $150,000 home they want w/a remodeled kitchen, new roof/windows/furnace and 3,000 sq. ft in the middle of Edina should really be priced at $50,000 and they're getting ripped off.

3. Agents that walk into a house for a showing w/their clients while I'm already in the house with my buyers and they yell "Hello? Realtor here!". They see our shoes & my briefcase on the floor in the entryway. Apparently, its not obvious to them that there is another showing & they keep yelling until I leave my clients & formally welcome them into a home that's not my listing.

2. Sellers that want a mint for their home but don't bother picking up their dirty underwear when they know buyers are coming through.

1. Homes that have dolls on display that consist of human bodies w/animal heads. These are present in about 25% of the homes I show. There is ABSOLUTELY NOTHING cute about those dolls.
