They just wait for you to select the house off their shelves and just keep spending their vendors money until it either sells or the owner changes agents. I believe one of the greatest assets that an agent can have is a bank of buyers with whom they are working. Surely that and their negotiating skills in achieving the best price from that buyer. When you list with us you will not pay a red cent until we bring you a buyer at a price acceptable to you. We give you a guarantee in writing that we will never send you an account for advertising, or for that matter any-thing else unless we bring you a buyer at a price acceptable to you sell.
Open homes are very dangerous.
I am amazed that agents are able to convince perfectly reasonable people to allow perfect strangers who may not even be thinking of buying a house to wander unescorted through their home. Especially in this day where the looker may be a burglar, checking to see if it's worth coming back tonight, a pedifile, or other pervert, seeing who lives in the house, or a person who doesn't like you and wants to see how you live. It amazes me. Especially when open homes actually get lower prices. That is because these thieves have been invited.
