I'm paying $40k in commission. Should I just sit back and accept that the sales process is for some reason different than the sales process in other industries? That for some reason real estate agents, because they operate in a "hot" market, work under different rules? Sales and business strategy, regardless of industry, is very similar and operates on the same set of principles. Am I high maintenance? Probably. I expect results, which is no different than my employees.
I oversee a sales network that spans 3 continents and grosses in the 8 figures. I've managed it for 2 decades. So I assure you I understand strategies (it's my job). So if your answer to any of my questions in the first paragraph is yes, it's a short term outlook on what a lot of agents advertise as " long term relationship building". Again, call me a cynic but I seriously wonder if that's a term they read in a generic sales manual, and publish on a website.
I get get called out if I say I can do something and don't deliver in my work, by MNC's. Why is that any different than a realtor I'm paying a large sum of money to to sell my house? I should be getting top notch representation for $40k, and if I don't get it I'm going to do something about it.
I also want to point out that there are good realtors out there. But because of this market, there are a lot that give serious real estate agents a bad name.
