If You Lose The Listing, Should You Call The Seller For Feedback?- EP 179

On this episode of the Real Estate Fight Club Podcast, find out if you can or cannot contact the seller after they have listed with another agent. Jenn and  guest Jim talk about Article 16. What are the different scenarios and where are the boundary lines? Tune in to find out.

 

Episode Highlights:

• Jim shares a story of two agents who have been in the same market for many years as friendly competitors.
• Jenn talks about a handful of times when she has been up against agents in the same brokerage and her suggestion on how to handle it.
• When things don’t go amicably between competing agents it can get messy. In the story Jim shares, an agent reached out to a seller who chose another agent over them seeking to understand why, who then complained to their current realtor and ultimately filed the ethics claim.
• Jim reads Article 16 which has many subsections and states that you cannot interfere with another agent's existing agreements. In the case that he shares, the panel made a decision that Jenn initially does not agree with.
• Jenn likes the idea of full circling when someone chooses the competition versus you. 
• Follow up and timing are important to determine whether or not it is considered interference via the Code of Ethics.  
• “As an agent, you have to have a system of persistent follow up”, says Jenn.
• What about pre listing questionnaires?
• How do you set up an expectation of clear expectations?
• Permission from the listing agent would be required if it is already clearly listed on the MLS and it is not in question if they chose you as their agent or not.
