uh we’ve had many sleepless nights on a
lot of deals y um we get you through it
without burdening you with what’s
happening we try to problem solve behind
so you don’t have a complete nervous
breakdown let us have the nervous
breakdown for you which we do that’s
what we’re here for so when we get
together recently we had a lovely person
a lovely cou coup we got together they
hopped in the car and we asked them to
sign our our exclusive employment
agreement which will be whether you like
it or not you will have to sign July 1
that’s the new law so those contracts
have been around a while we’ve been
using them for a while now yes what is
new is that they are becoming mandatory
it will be mandatory you will not be
able to go into a house with an agent
without an agent unless you’ve signed uh
an employment agreement and all it does
is go over our compensation all of that
is negotiable it will be negotiable we
can figure that out who’s going to pay
what it’s don’t worry it’s not going to
be you know we’ll we’ll make it we do
get paid for doing this if you have a
problem with that then it probably won’t
work out but you know the Secret’s out
of the bag we are getting paid to do
this if you’re okay with that then
chances are you won’t have problem so
when you come so we had somebody come in
lovely couple that got in they’re like
well we’re not signing that employment
agreement agreement
because um we’re gonna try out another
agent tomorrow okay so let me be clear
on this we had a whole day scheduled
like she had uh she had to call up all
the in schedule all the homes we looked
at eight different homes we were in the
car like four hours more than that yeah
and uh and then in the end well we’re
going to do the same thing with another
agent tomorrow not great not cool not
cool you don’t do that you know it’s not
very ethical you should you just kind of
wasted our time either we’re going to
have a relationship or we’re not either
we’re going to go steady or we’re not um
it’s not a dat the tour you decide you
don’t like us that’s a different totally
but don’t come in town having scheduled
you know buyer tours with more than one
agent that’s just and we’ve had a couple
people they’ll they’ll work with four
different agents it it’s and nobody
knows nobody even knows they don’t tell
anybody that’s not coetic not ethical
and it’s not ethical to sign an
agreement and then say oh well I think I
found something else with another agent
that can give me a better deal so I’m
going to cancel with you no we spent a
lot of time and effort so please keep
that in mind and just be happy with your
decision we promise you won’t go wrong

wigged out by and you’re all nervous

terrible happens and we really don’t get
