Get ready for a wild one!\\xa0 Karen blows off some steam in this episode.\\xa0 After spending a lot of time and effort with a client, she was dismissed by the client with no explanation.\\xa0 Obviously it\'s the client\'s decision as to who represents them, but it\'s basic common courtesy to explain your thinking to someone who has invested a lot of time and money into helping you find the perfect home for you, and who now will not be paid for it.

Real estate agents are people with families too!\\xa0 Consider this: Most people go look at houses after normal business hours and/or on weekends.\\xa0 That\'s time people normally spend with their families.\\xa0 Every hour an agent spends with you is an hour they choose to spend away from their family.\\xa0 So yes, it\'s the right thing to do to offer an explanation so to why you\'re terminating your representation agreement.

You might say, "Well, that\'s the lifestyle the agent chooses by their choice of profession."\\xa0 True.\\xa0 It\'s also true that wasted time is just a part of the cost of doing business.\\xa0 However, none of that is an excuse for you as a client to be rude.

Look, we get it.\\xa0 This industry is filled with real estate agents who will beg, badger, plead, and otherwise devalue themselves just to get your business.\\xa0 That\'s not Karen or any of the other agents who we have in our referral network.\\xa0 If that\'s what you want representing you, there are plenty of agents out there to choose from.\\xa0 However, if you want to work with someone who is authentic and real; if you will respect their time as much as they will respect your transaction, we want to hear from you!
