Dating your broker

Discussion about
So, the broker and I finally met, after 2 unreturned phone calls to see a place and there was definitely a connection. She was lovely, smart, similar background and interest and super attractive. Alot of flirtiness, texting, allusions to weekend plans etc.. Definitely an easy introduction and segue into a "hey, why don't you join me this weekend doing....?" Decided NOT to ask her out until after the deal was either done or walked away from. Any advice or anecdotes on clients dating brokers? Does it help a deal/negotiation or is it a huge mistake.

Hey wiseking - go for it when you feel right. The only anecdotes is that with brokers it can be feast or famine in more ways than one.

In my experience, a person of the opposite sex on the verge of making $$$ on the basis of being nice/friendly/flirty may overcompensate these virtues to achieve their goal. I refer you to Scores, Hustler club, etc.

Do you also think the stripper is in love with you? I wouldn't take any flirtatious banter seriously at this point. Think about why pharmaceutical sales reps do better when they have a cheerleading background.

I'll second rivas77. If the deal gets done (by which I mean the real estate deal), and she's still acting interested and keeping in touch for no good reason...then that's a signal. If she's just being ultra-friendly while trying to get you to use her service, it could well be because of $$$$$ and not any other interest.

My advice would be to worry about the real estate deal, then circle back and see where things stand. If there really is interest, it will still be there then -- if it's not, it probably never was. But no point in ruining a good broker relationship misreading signals. (And not really fair to her to cause awkwardness if she's just trying to do her job, either, of course.)

Thewiseking - is this the same broker (from your negotiating thread) that is trying to get you to up your offer? Please see my comment there - SHE IS PLAYING YOU.

Are you well-endowed (financially)? If so and she does/will know all of your finances, is that impacting her interest?...in any event, not the best way to start a relationship with the other person knowing all of financial details

Let nature take its course. Chances are you will score (that should be a good thing), you will eventually dump her and you will realize the apt is still over-priced. Next broker, thank you very much.

Pation09 - come on - he should wait until the apartment thing is wrapped up - after all, she might come up with a good deal, and if he has already dumped her, well "hell hath no fury like a woman scorned".

I watched "Looking for Mr. Goodbar" last night.

Your broker is Theresa's last date in the movie.

King, my only recommendation to you is watch out for the strap-on.
Most brokers like to f*ck their clients in the ass...literally and figuratively

Get the RE deal done first; if there is still a frisson, then see where it goes.

I agree with DRDRD. If she is truly professional, she will get the RE deal done first, then play later. As a woman and business owner, I have a rule to never date clients, the clients' employees, nor my vendor reps, no matter what the connection or chemistry. It just isn't good for business.

sounds like you'd like to bang her...if youd like to bang her i would certainly try--assume you're both of age, unmarried and consenting?

i think i just agreed with juice...wow

i would think a lot of female brokers use their looks to charm, sway, influence. it's effective. i had a hot broker for a period last year, which enjoyed until i realized he was gay AND married. never did sign that contract..

I took a chance a few years back and I've never regretted it. I met a girl and we sort of had this connection.I called her a few days later and it went well for about 6 months, then it faded away.

If you really feel something, you should make a move. You never know. Good luck!

The only fear would be making offspring. Do you have any idea what special education costs?

The best way to date a broker is to cut her in half and count the rings.
