seems that certainly in this business a lot of things went berserk Clients did behavior agents started pulling their hair out pagers failed deals fell apart phones went nuts then died arid all in all Im awfully glad that full moon is over with I have a very good friend who has done a lot of work with the notsostableof mind and she does tell me that the moon certainly has a lot to do with behavior so I will put all this down to the looney moon However despite this preamble I have been asked several times over the last ten days to write something about loyalty Actually I have written about this to some extent in the past but perhaps it is time again to take a slab at this very controversial subject There is probably no other business like real estate that loyalty is so much of a problem In a small town like Georgetown or Acton we are very aware of what is happening between ourselves as agents and we are pretty close knit group Many many times we overlap clients for it is inevitable with the agentclient ratio but usually after an initial meeting with an agent and client most whom they want to work with and there is no problem You will note that I said usual ly and this is where we hit the sensitive zone If clients are up front with us and tell us that they are working with a couple of other agents or one agent from each office in town we can then decide how to handle the situation We might decide that its OK with us and who knows who will win or we might decide that the amount of energy that we spend can be watered down from the normal amount or we might decide that it is not worth any amount of time and let someone else go crazy But at least let us have the opportunity of making a decision You see if you dont let us know we find out pretty fast anyway it is just that sort of town and then we are frustrated and feel like we are being used I know I can hear a bunch of you saying So what thats business but I say you will not get the same sort of service or dedication and in the end you will lose not win from this type of ac tion Working on straight commission as we do makes most of us work very hard There are many many hours of unseen work done in preparation for our clients Dedicated agents put in extraordinary long days spending time on the phone on the computer inspection of homes and sorting things for their clients It is all part of the profes sion and we wouldnt do it if we didnt love it but it is certainly a kick in the gut when we discover that a client is working all over town There is sort of an unspoken priority list with every agent A client that urgently needs a home will always get top priority and then it works down from there to the client that is just browsing Naturally the time spent is watered down amongst many but urgency always prevails and it Is that client that gets about 98 per cent of our time You will not get an agent to do hand springs for you if you have a bunch of other agents working for you I think if you are honest and this is the magic word HONEST yob will get the service you want If you are going to list your home with another agent tell the other agent immediately If you are going to work with other agents in looking for a home tell them it will only make you go up in our estimation of human nature and then we can deal with it You will only get what you pay for in the long run and its tough bucking the system but I think in the final analysis you will have bet ter service and a much better rapport with your agent if you start with a clean slate May the New Moon bring you smiles and laughter this month
