The real estate may be a fleeting market yet it still needs professionalism in all areas of negotiations. That being said doesn't also mean you have to have a degree and become "Professional" for you to effectively handle your client. You don't exactly need a diploma to become diplomatic. You just have to know how to properly treat your client and other people involved in the market with professionalism.
However, sometimes, due to the demanding tasks of the business, we can barely detect our flaws during negotiations, especially if we see ourselves successful in closing deals and in bringing in profits to the company. While we are too focused on how to increase our sales, our agents might have been disturbed by our actuations without us noticing, and being unprofessional at times might have contributed to their annoyance. That's why it's better to at least understand at what point we are acting below the belt.
Here are three things that show your unprofessionalism, annoying your real estate agent:
When you demand to schedule too many private ocular visits
Your agent would be happy to assist you in your search for the best house to buy, but, to request for too many private home showing exclusively for you might be a burden to your agent, much less, if your agent notices that you are not really interested in the house. Do not waste his time by your indecisiveness. Your agent appreciates it if you show him you value his time and effort by being definite in your house of choice.
When you bring just anyone you want to every home showing
It's understandable that you want to show your family your prospect house yet bringing every member of your family, even your extended family during home showing might annoy your agent. Living Is Grand suggests to keep your house hunting party to a maximum of two companions. The article also mentions that having too many people around would just generate excess opinions that might cloud your mind and feelings, affecting your judgment about the house.
When you negotiate with the buyer/seller without your agent knowing
Knowing that you have hired him, your agent is expecting that he's part of every transaction all throughout the deal. Villa Medicifl suggests that to avoid creating a climate of distrust, always keep your agent in the loop, may it be big or small transactions. After all, you hired him for a certain reason. Transparency should be observed in real estate business.
