Conventional wisdom says listings create leads and leads produce clients when effectively followed up. However, taking a listing at any price the seller wants is bad business. In my opinion to not be straight forward with a seller about their home's value is a violation of our fiduciary duties to the client. We are not representing their best interests by taking the listing at any price. You're right, that house that was worth $400K+ being listed at over $600K will rot before it sells at that price. So, good response to Bob as well as your other thoughts. Well, Jay, I must applaud you as well. Conventional wisdom says listings create leads and leads produce clients when effectively followed up.

When I first read that email I thought, "Bubblehead... blame the Realtor for everything." Then I realized that yeah, he may be a "bubblehead", but it's how he feels, and there are a lot of people out there that feel this way. And he's got a point in that there are a LOT of unrealistic sellers out there and we as real estate professionals are not doing a very good job of educating the consumer. Thanks guys.

My favorite part is one thing that I stress over a lot of the rest - educating people. It doesn't matter if they are buyers or sellers. Buyers, especially from outside your area, need information on anything from commute times to schools to shopping... Sellers need to be educated on the realities of what it really takes to sell a house. Jay – great post. My favorite part is one thing that I stress over a lot of the rest – educating people.

When first reading his message, I found myself sighing and shaking my head at another consumer who feels we agents are are to make zillions of dollars at the expense of others. Thanks for a well written rebuttal...Brian Miller Jay,
