I am not arguing that in your case Travis didn't put together a strong plan together to sell your property (he did the same selling my home).
My expectations are that the professionals I hire are going to do everything they possibly can to close a sale with my best interest in mind (Realtor, Mortgage Broker, Lawyer). If I am forking out thousands of dollars I want to ensure I have the best support team around me. I know my clients pay me to ensure that I do everything in my power to close my deals. I am absolutely hiring a realtor to sell my property and I choose the one I work with because I am confident in his/her strategy and work ethic in getting the deal closed.
If a buyer calls your realtor and says I am interested in your property can I come see it? You would rather your realtor say "go find your own realtor that isn't my job" rather than "absolutely meet me there this evening and I will show you around".
Humans are fragile creatures if they were told "no" and "go find their own realtor" your property may now have a bad experience attached to it and if/when they finally do go look at it that experience could ruin the sale.
