“Do you listen to yourself?”
“No, why should I?”
- “Ilia, how are you today?”
- “I survive, how about you?”
- “I need to meet you, it is urgent. I have some big opportunities for you or your clients”.
- “Nice, what is it?”
- “A list of lands, all of them directly from owners”.
- “How about the prices?”
- “I will send you the email and you will check them by yourself”.
- “Ok, shoot!”
(20 minutes later…)
- “Did you receive the offers?”
- “No, I received a wrong email. I think you sent me something from the past”.
- “What past? These are the offers of the owners today”.
- “I like some of the properties, 3 or 4, but I don’t dare informing my clients for such crazy prices, I will lose them all”.
- “Look, don’t start with this story…”
- “I will come back to you with my offers for the properties I will choose”.
- “If it is to come and offer half prices, then don’t come at all”.
- “But some offers are high even for 2008!”
- “Then you should come with serious clients”.
- “Do you mean stupid ones?”
- “No, serious”.
- “Ok, I will keep it in mind”.
(next morning…)
- “Hello, Ilia, do you have two minutes?”
- “Why? Do you have more offers in prices 3 - 5 times higher than the real ones?”
- “No, no, come on… don’t tease me like this. I have a client. He wants to buy a land in this area”.
- “Which one? You had sent to me some offers at this area yesterday, in your list”.
- “He has a budget of … Euro / sq.m.”
- “But this 80 - 90% lower than the prices you sent me yesterday”.
- “Anyway, if you have time, please send to me.
- “Send you what?”
- “What my client wants”.
- “But you personallyhave offers with price from … up to … / Euro /sq.m.and you ask me to…”
- “No, no, no, real opportunities we want, as he asked”.
- “You know the market too, you sent me the offers yesterday. Yes, the price is less than half, but it is also not for few Euro / sq.m”.
- “Look, I don’t care about all these. I just want to have a deal, are you in?”
- “I am sorry, but do you understand that you contradict yourself? You tell me different stories every day. Once you have an owner, you initiate him to ask something crazy and then you search for clients”.
- “I just transmit the messages”.
- “Do you listen to yourself?”
- “No, why should I?”"
- “Because you say white yesterday and black today”.
- “Don’t tell me too much, I just want to have the deal done”.
- “Ok, I will send you the opportunities I have”
When so many people think like this, how can we expect the Real Economy to revive?
PS. Is there anyone who didn’t meet a similar “Real Estate” agent? Not all of them are like this, but unfortunately the majority continues to behave exactly as they did in the past.
