This morning I saw my Chiropractor.  While she was torturing uh I mean treating me, she asked about my book.  She went on to relate her experience as a single woman buying real estate.  She has purchased two homes, one in Maryland and one in Texas.  Unfortunately, her experience was the same in both cases:  the real estate agent didn’t listen to her.    “She kept showing me 4 bedroom houses with 2 storys, and it was just me living there.  I never wanted anything that big.”  She felt as if a lot of her time was wasted, and that she did the work for the agent.  Moral of the story:  Listen to your clients and you’ll learn what they need and want from you.

    Lisa, could you please provide a post in the future regarding what to look for in a real estate agent? I don’t know what we should expect (legally and ethically) from an agent.

    Absolutely. Check back this week. There is a lot to write about on that subject.

    I agree that a lot of agents don’t listen. In my case, my last agent shouldn’t have because I thought I wanted something completely different than I bought. I think a great agent needs to listen and do a lot of probing-especially if they’re new to the area.
