When I started in Real Estate in this area over 30 years ago, it was predominantly a male oriented Industry. I can tell you that I received hell not only from outside but also within the Office...I never broke then and after all these years, I can assure there is no hope that it will ever happen!!!!!
A couple of years ago I was honoured and humbled to be awarded with a Fellow of the REIQ commendation, and that was not because of my longevity in the business, and have always conducted myself with integrity and professionalism.
Last Tuesday, one of my Owners, of which I have a current Exclusivity with, was sent a letter by this Rogue Agent, stating that they have probably not had the "best selling experience thus far " and who has been in this area for 20 years, offering his services along with testimonials from"people who have gone before", (I hope they have not passed away as yet....) as he knows the area like no other Agent does... Professional courtesy alone dictates that you should not put down another Agent, but he has now crossed this line , yet again.
If this person cannot obtain listings on his own merit and has to sink to these levels to poach from someone else, I strongly suggest that, like in the Western movies, he should "ride off into the Sunset", because he will definitely NOT BE MISSED...
Is there any wonder why the Public rate us down the bottom of the ladder with Agents acting the way they do, undermining the Professionals amongst us?
