No Bob Hertzog we are not arguing about the MD law. Seems its more of a "whats the right thing to do discussion" Better to avoid Agency problems prior to lawmakers getting involved.
The only time I do open houses is to provide exposure for the house I'm in. Only in the very beginning of my career did I do it solely to gain clients . Having said that, the rare times I hold an open house it's easy to establish rapport with buyers. I don't do dual agency so other than providing that exposure and ease of showing for all the agents that send their clients around to open houses, I can do more productive networking and prospecting with my time. . .
Gina: You're correct, but it's not even really a TRUST issue here so much as an "everyone says that, so you're now just part of the noise that my brain is AUTOMATICALLY blocking out."
Classic examples: "I'm number 1," "I sell the most homes," "I sell my homes for the most money," "work with me and I will get you the best deal," blah blah blah. The simplest way to say it: If a person would say, "well, I would HOPE SO" in response to your marketing, it's a platitude.
