I do. That's why when our last realtor couldn't sell our house after 4 months (despite pocketing a lot of $$ for us buying our new house), we sold it ourselves. I'd never use a realtor again. [ Reply | More

if you work p/t you earn p/t salaries in RE just like every other business - probably 20-40k. a year of straight commission, no benefits, time off, etc. Very comparable to any other middle of the road job. [ Reply | More

Please try another agent! Like shrinks, Drs., accountants, etc. sometimes you get a few duds in a row and need to keep trying. Also, I am a Broker and try to be respectful of my clients' time and not too pushy. So I might err on the side of being passive with the idea that they receive updates from me nightly and will let me know what is appealing. Of course if I feel strongly about a property I will always reach out. I am just presenting the other side because so often we are deemed aggresive and it can be a difficult balancing act. No question however that you are not being served. Please try for a better fit. [ Reply | More

Hijack: Do you ever help clients (who have already bought through you) with planning of renovations of that house? We would really like our broker's advice whether we are making smart decisions on new kitchens and some extensive landscaping, want to make sure we will get most of the money out of it if we sell.

This is one of my favorite parts of the job. I work as part of a team with a prof. decorator/home stager so while I have my opinions on cost benefit of certain renovations and I know what I like and have seen = the decorator does the real plans, swatches, etc. for the new house. And she is very very good. [ Reply | More
