Hi everyone. This is your Tampa Bay Realtor Lance Mohr .In this video I want
to talk about should you fire a real estate agent or if you're gonna fire a
real estate agent when you should fire a real estate agent what justifies fire in
the real estate agent that's what we're going to go over in this video
all right so when should you fire realtor should you fire it really is it
ethical is it unethical these are questions I get quite often about the
real estate agent first I'm not advocating fire in a real estate agent
don't take me wrong in this I'm not saying you should but I'm also not
saying you shouldn't at the end of the day you need to look at it and see is
the real estate agent really represent in your best interest as a home buyer or
a home seller do they really know what they're doing there is why work with
someone who doesn't know what they're doing now I know statistically 75
percent of buyers and sellers just go with the first agent they meet and I
understand this oh they're a nice person they have a real estate license let me
use them this is the wrong mindset what I think you need to do first is you need
to interview regulators you need to ask Realtor some questions so let me start
off and talk about sellers first and then I'll get into the buyers about fire
in the real estate agent all right if you're in a listing agreement depending
on what state you're in where you're at what's going on you probably can't get
out of the listing agreement but if you're not happy with the realtor then
simply go to the office manager because that's who holds the listing it's never
the real winners whether you're a buyer or a seller so it's not the realtor it's
the brokerage firm who holds the listing just simply go to the office manager
tell him you're not happy with the realtor at all and you want to transfer
real estate agents in the office that should not be a problem depending on the
office they probably will not let you out of the contract they most likely
don't have to of course you could seek legal counsel on this but the best thing
to do is interview and talk to agents before so you don't get yourself in this
mess if you're not in a contract yet and you haven't signed it yet find an agent
hire an agent that's willing to let you out of the contract if you're not happy
I know this is really gutsy as a real estate agent because we do this for a
living we get paid 100 Commission it's a gutsy enough business
as it is we wake up every day unemployed until we get a paycheck but at the end
of the day if the agent is really confident if they really know what
they're gonna do they should not have a hard time putting something in the
contract that if you're not happy to let you out because we're really it should
be a two-way street you need to be happy with them they need to be happy with you
I actually had to call sellers before and tell him I'm gonna send them a
termination because I don't want to be their agent anymore that's very unusual
but again it's a two-way street so if you're if your home buyer it's a
little different of course if you sign an agreement you could do the same thing
call the brokerage if you don't again try to ask questions prior to the agent
but if you really feel the agent isn't representing your best interest if the
agent doesn't know what they're talking about if the agent is unethical why
stuff like this get out of the get out of the agreement well if you're in
agreement you may not be able to but get out of the verbal I guess agreement with
the agent because you don't need this now I always think it's a good idea to
really have a meaning with the ancient or talk to him on the telephone and tell
them what the problem is but if they just don't know what they're doing
there's not much you could really say if they lie to you or if they you know done
something where you don't think that they're you representing your best
interests there may not be anything to do but sometimes a lot of it's just
communication some people don't always make the wisest decisions and you know
it seems like maybe they're not representing you but it might have just
been a bad decision and you know if that's the case always try to get it
worked out now the one thing and I've said this in videos before whether
you're hiring a buyer's agent or whether you're hiring a listing agent just ask
them just ask them two questions why should I work with you and what do you
do different or better than all the other agents out there and just leave it
at that see what they have to say and pick
someone who really knows what they're doing someone who you do like and
for us but it is also knowledgeable and someone who's going to look out for your
best interest so I hope this helps leave comments below let me know what you
think have you ever had to fire an agent you have you ever been unhappy with an
agent if you have why I want to hear from you I want to hear what you have to
say these videos for you so I hope this helps you if you're in the Tampa Bay
area and you're looking for a good agent give me a call

you and your family the best of luck
