Please Don’t Cheat On Your New Orleans Real Estate Agent

Please Don’t Cheat On Your New Orleans Real Estate Agent

August 24, 2022 By Crescent City Living

We are open and honest with our readers, our clients, and anyone who takes the time to contact us with questions about the New Orleans real estate market.  We’re more than happy to discuss our feelings about the market, lending, appraisals, and any other topic that someone wants our opinion on.

Invariably, during these conversations, we ask the question “are you working with an agent“.  Most of the time, folks say no.  And they usually are not, at least in their minds.

But there are those times when a home buyer or seller is deliberately cheating on their New Orleans real estate agent and using us.

They might be doing a little checking behind their own agent’s back, looking to find out if another agent will give them a different answer than their own agent did.  This is a trust issue.  If you don’t trust your agent, please don’t cheat on them.  Just break it off and find a new one.

Their agent might not have answered the phone.  Contrary to popular belief and the proliferation of social networks and smartphones, none of us are connected 24/7.  Your agent might be with another client, might be on the phone with a potential buyer for your home, or might even (horrors!) have taken a break to grab a bite to eat or go to the bathroom.  Please.  Leave them a message, send them a text, or fire off an email.  If they are habitually unresponsive, see the advice above…break it off and find a new agent.

Those callers might be under the mistaken notion that we have their best interests at heart when we don’t know them from Adam.  There’s a reason that you should work with your own New Orleans real estate agent.  Actually, there are about 572 reasons.  But the number 1 reason is that they are charged with protecting your interests.  We don’t have that obligation when you call to pump us for information.  In fact, anything you say outside of an agency relationship can be used against you during negotiations if you happen to write an offer on one of our listings.  Call your own agent, who is doing everything they can to protect and represent you.

If they aren’t…well, you know the drill by now.
