This is a comment that someone sent to me…

“So here is my opinion of Realtors in Calgary based on my experience with these two. They lived the easy life during the boom and now they don’t know how work to sell a house. When the boom was on… they would put the house on MLS and set a time and day to receive offers. They would show up on that day and there would be a line up of buyers who were willing to pay more than the asking price. The realtor would look at all the offers and take the best one. At the end of the day they had made huge amounts of money. During that time they forgot how to work. Now that the market has slowed down they don’t know what to do. They put the house on MLS and wait for the buyers to come. They don’t network with realtor showings, they don’t do open houses, they don’t send out flyer’s… they don’t know how to find buyers. So they pressure the seller to lower the asking price and an update gets sent out to all the other Realtors to remind them that there is a house for sale but now at a lower price. If that doesn’t work then they ask the seller to lower the price again so they can send out a new update. When we lower our price by $30 000 she loses loose change in commission but we loose years of mortgage payments.”

Here is another one….

“We have only dealt with one, and our experience left us feeling that we’d been cheated, manipulated, taken advantage of and basically just… not a good experience. You said to be honest ”
