A tweet from T3 Summit that I thought belongs in this group folks! Could not agree more Julie...and Bob, unfortunately, you are spot on!

Real Estate Victory! There is nothing better than preparation! So, I have bitterly divorced couple, court has ordered to liquidate assets, I have been referred by another agent to represent the couple to sell multiple Real Estate assets. I met with the wife yesterday, the husband today. Property in question today is a Commercial Medical Building with the husband, a doctor, ran his practice from. He was demanding that we list the property at his hypothetical price. As I discussed with him the value of his building, based on several comparables, in the area, he was set on this imaginary price. That is where the FUN began! Me: Sir, with all do respect, I am going to ask you something that I would like you to answer me honestly. Would you let me take you in that medical room right there and let me perform an in depth medical procedure on you right now? Mr. Seller: Well, if you were properly trained and had experience, sure. Me: No Sir, I mean with no training, no experience, today...right now. Mr. Seller: Well, NO!! Me: Well Sir, I respect that, and I do understand that I am not suited, nor do I have the training or experience to perform any type of medical procedure on you. Now Sir, I need you to respect me right now as a professional, and understand that you do not have the training or expertise to determine the price of your building. I have provided you with all the data and market analysis to adequately show you where the value of your building is in today's market. BOOOM!!! I walked out with a signed listing agreement at 19% under what he said his minimum list price would be, with a full 10% commercial listing for 12 months. I LOVE MY CAREER!!!!!
