Client to Broker: Kiss my a**!

great word....perfect usage....maybe future contracts with realtors will have tasks that are expected of the brokers, i.e. snaking clogged toilets, cleaning out cat litter boxes, removing lint from the dryer filter, etc.

NY broker doing that. I don't buy it. NY Broker's put in the least effort what with all exclusive listings and all...

I don't buy it at all either. It is one thing for a broker to tidy an apartment up, fluff pillows, and make a bed... but to be asked by the seller to come and clean? Insanity.

Laugh it up, loozers, but she's got a lot of listings. OK, maybe overpriced listings, but listings nonetheless.

Seriously, the "clean-my-apartment" owner is an idiot. Not the type of thing you want to be doing to someone who has an ability to screw you over in many ways.

no kidding, inonada. love thy broker! (but first choose one you like and trust)

on the flip side two examples of great my broker was (and his partner).
they scheduled an open house during a weekend i was packing to move..i told them i would be in the middle of packing. they offered to come and help me move boxes in the apt!! i did not ask- they offered!
i had moved and it was sitting empty- i went back and the windows were a mess (the view was a key point). the doorman had cleaned them and they looked like cr-p. when i mentioned it they kicked the guys butt and had him re do them (no charge).
we were thinking of staging.. they offered to walk through cort furniture with me to pick things out.
again, i did not ask... they offered!

Way to kill a thread, re2009

I agree defeats point of thread. But then again RE2009 do you really need someone else to speak up for you when someone does a crappy job? and no charge, if someone did work for you and it was wrong, would you actually pay again to have it done right?

Also seriously had you said they offered to BUY the furniture then that is one thing, but all brokers will tell you what they think you should do. I know when i sold my empty apartment I had brokers telling me to let them do the sale and what i would need to buy. Lets just say it was 2004 and the market was flying, so i ignored and sold at what i wanted without paying for prop furniture.

But either way i do not see what your brokers did that was extraordinary. Had they given you money towards making the apartment presentable in their eyes, well then we can talk.

maybe they just wanted to help you move the bed....is your name Chad?

Sorry if my comment above was not appreciated (especially by realtors), but I've dealt with realtors who ended up as my friends and realtors who made Bernie Madoff look like Mother Theresa. In this market, I just feel like a sense of (gallows) humor is necessary to keep trucking along.

It isn't the job of brokers to clean, but if you are a broker and your client is sloppy and you are hungry to do a good job and make money and have a good reputation, well, do a good job and sometimes that means a little elbow grease and sucking up a bit of your dignity.
