- You waste your time pumping up the price for someone else;
- You paid more than anyone else. If you paid more than anyone else, you didn't get a bargain. If you paid retail for a short-sale, you paid too much.
- The remarks contain very basic English spelling and grammatical errors.
- The remarks solicit a specific title company. Agents and brokers don't make money off title companies. It's against the law for us to make money from title companies. It is inappropriate for us to solicit
- a particular title company.
- The remarks talk about agent commission. It is inappropriate for an agent to talk to the general public about what we make. I couldn't care less if you know what I make, but if an agent puts commission notes in the remarks the agent clearly is ignorant or unethical.
- As a member of the buying public you cannot see the commission, but your agent can see what the stated commission is. If the commission is listed as 50% or 50/50, then you're probably headed for trouble. MLS rules require that the seller state his commission when offering the property for sale. An agent who sanctions flexible terms is an agent who believes in the idea of flexible contracts. The very reason for a contract is to establish the terms: not to leave the terms open so that one party can change them at the last minute.
