Video Transcript hello hello pete hey peeps this is diana randall bro we are out today first of all we both got brand new coats new coats good time to buy new coats hope you like them yeah um but we are here yeah we did this is the time yeah absolutely good one but anyway i digress yes you do we are here in the in front of the courthouse coming at you godzilla that’s right i don’t know we’re here in front of the courthouse today in the square right smack dab in the middle of downtown prescott which i love on this beautiful crisp february day and our new coats um and i thought it would be apropos to film in front of the courthouse because what i’d really like to talk about is um some ethical things yeah yeah uh talk about ethics i am kind of mad um i’m venting please be aware when you’re looking for an agent whether it’s a listing agent a selling agent any kind kind of check out who they are what they’re about yeah just because somebody has signage or you see a lot of homes listed and you see signs all over the place with their names on it does not necessarily mean yeah that um these are people that are looking out for your best interest or spend a lot of time that do their due diligence they are uh they just because they they they have a lot of people doesn’t mean they’re spending a lot of time in fact some of the agents that have lots and lots of signs they don’t have enough time to spend with any one of those one of those uh buyers or sellers that’s right so you know it’s important even though you may see a lot of name recognition name recognition does not always equate to good job done an agent who’s really looking out for your best interest an agent who’s really investing themselves in the most important purchase of your life yeah some of them you know hey it’s just all about the bottom line hey yeah is that foundation have a big leak underneath it yeah it has if we were agents that were that way we would be telling you the same thing at this point we’re not saying this is easy it isn’t easy we would like you to believe that we are different but if we weren’t we’d be saying the same thing we know it’s hard so how does someone what are some of the clues that you would give them to you know to look between the the uh the bull here you need to look at somebody who actually spends one-on-one quality time with you that’s good he sits down and says let’s let’s go over everything that you’re looking for let’s go you know if you’re about to buy a house yeah let’s sit down and go through the disclosure yeah uh oh this is a red flag susie q uh oh this is not good no bueno you know you don’t want somebody who’s like yeah yeah yeah yeah looks good looks good to me let’s sign off so i get my commission check no sometimes no matter the price of the house it takes a while agents who don’t spend time with you do whatever it is whatever the step is if they’re not willing to spend the time with you you want to move on absolutely and one clue too like right off the bat if you meet an agent let’s say you see a sign or a business card or advertisement somewhere and you meet them and they don’t look anything like the picture that you saw that’s probably that’s it that’s your first line number one right i think that’s right that is your first clue if you get somebody who’s like you know got a uh glamour shot from your 19. my real estate agent looks like kim kardashian and then you meet them and they really look like joan rivers that’s your first clue i like joan root i love jonathan yeah i love your hair so yeah that’s that’s so bad yeah because she she was a cool chick she was but that’s probably your first clue somebody who can’t even be you know really kind of honest and upfront on their own business card you might not want to deal with it so i guess my point is as we’re standing in front of the courthouse try to find some people that you feel have some ethics have some morals and have some time and have some time they’re not interested in just let me get as many houses listed as possible so i can get these commission checks and it doesn’t matter if the foundation shifted on a house who cares yeah i still got my commission check that’s who you don’t want we may or may not just be involved in something i don’t know if you can pick up on that yeah i don’t know if you can pick up yeah but maybe so you know it’s just important everybody you know in all walks of life you’ve got good people you’ve got bad people but you know try to do some due diligence and and hook up with good people i think we’re good people we will invest our time be good people be a good buyer be a good seller be ethical be ethical on all parts come on we are happy to be here we are happy to spend the time we will spend a lot of time with you yeah absolutely make sure that it’s done right and um we’re just up front yeah we’re good we keep it real okay and we look pretty much the way you know i photoshopped all these videos no we don’t we’re actually that’s why my hair looks like this yeah yeah yikes it’s starting to snow what you see is what you get what you see is what you get but that’s why today we thought let’s talk
