MR./MIZ. REAL ESTATE AGENT: WHERE'D YOU LEARN THIS BAD BEHAVIOR?

MR/MIZ REAL ESTATE AGENT: WHERE'D YOU LEARN THIS BAD BEHAVIOR?

I have a serious question.  Where did this bunch of real estate agents get the idea that it's OK and proper to begin negotiations for their client without anything in writing and no money being put on the line?

Or how about this one?  "How much do you think they'll take for it?" Why would they ask me that?  How can I possibly serve my clients if I know the answer, much less if I were to reveal it?

This is sleazy stuff.  I absolutely refuse to be a part of it.  (Stop calling me!) And if you're a prospective seller or buyer and your real estate agent is attempting to initiate discussions like these on your behalf, regardless of which side of the equation you're on, you ought to fire him on the spot.
