Disappointing Experience - Integrity Matters
I was referred to this agent through my mother's friend and another real estate professional who had worked with her before, so I expected a higher level of professionalism and trust. Unfortunately, that wasn't the case.
She had verbally agreed to a 2.5% commission, but the next day went back on her word and insisted on 3%. Even when I reminded her of our agreement, she said she had changed her mind and that was that.
That lack of integrity really showed who she was. Even the agent who referred her to me was disappointed by her actions -- and in real estate, your word and reputation are everything.
She also advised me to list my condo at a lower price, which I thankfully ignored. I ended up hiring another agent, Randy Hatada - Xpand Realty, who sold my condo quickly, with integrity, and for a higher price than what she had suggested.
Overall, it was a disappointing experience that reminded me how important integrity is in this business -- once it's lost, it speaks volumes. read more
