I heard about an agent who was trying to sell a very old mansion. He claimed it was haunted to attract more buyers. He even went as far as creating spooky noises during the showings. Well, it worked and the house got sold to a couple who were into that sort of thing. But later the agent got in trouble for false advertising.
Sure. There was this one agent who showed a house to a client. While they were inside, a raccoon suddenly ran through the living room. The agent chased it around with a broom, all while the client was just watching in shock and laughter.
Sure. There was a story about a haunted house. It was on the market for years because of its reputation. But one day, a couple bought it at a really low price. They renovated it completely and turned it into a beautiful home. Now, there are no more 'haunted' rumors.
One story is about an agent who accidentally locked himself in a closet during an open house. He was yelling for help but no one heard him for hours until the next showing. It was really embarrassing for him.
Another great success story is of Mark. He decided to target first - time homebuyers. He created a series of educational videos about the home - buying process. These videos were very popular on YouTube. He also offered free consultations. His approachable nature and the useful information he provided made him the go - to agent for many first - time buyers. As a result, he closed a large number of deals and became a successful real estate agent.
There was an agent who showed a house to a family. The family loved it and made an offer. But the agent then received a higher offer from another party secretly and pushed the first family out of the deal without giving them a chance to match it. It was really unethical.
Once an agent was taking pictures of a house for the listing. As he was in the bedroom, the homeowner's pet parrot started mimicking him saying 'This is a great room, this is a great room'. The agent was so startled at first but then found it hilarious and included the parrot's voice in the video tour, which made the listing really stand out.
Sure. There was an agent who started from scratch. He had no connections in the industry and very little money for marketing. But he was determined. He walked door - to - door in the neighborhood he wanted to work in, handing out flyers. Eventually, his hard work paid off. He became one of the top agents in the area, selling luxury homes to high - profile clients.
I once had a client who seemed really nice at first. But during a property viewing, he started acting really strange. He was asking me really personal questions that made me uncomfortable. And then he started following me a bit too closely as we walked through the house. I got really scared and ended the viewing early. I was so relieved when he left.
Well, Mary is another example. She started out new but was very determined. She spent a great deal of time networking with local businesses. This led to referrals from them. She also made sure to provide top - notch customer service. For instance, she always followed up with clients promptly and provided detailed information about properties. This made her clients trust her and she had a great success rate in closing deals.
Sure. One success story is about an agent named John. He focused on building relationships with local businesses. By constantly networking and understanding their needs, he was able to match them with perfect commercial properties. For example, he helped a small startup find a cost - effective office space in a prime location. This not only satisfied the client but also led to many referrals.
Well, once I had an agent who showed me a house that was completely misrepresented in the listing. It said it had a renovated kitchen, but when we got there, the cabinets were falling apart and the stove was ancient. It was such a waste of time.
