I keep reading that West Bloomfield consumers rate real estate agents on a lower rung when it comes to integrity and trust. There are always going to be some bad apples; but, that should not spoil the whole bunch. Personally, I think that the majority of my West Bloomfield clients would (or should) trust me as their real estate agent implicitly. If they have any questions about my integrity or if they can count on me as their West Bloomfield real estate agent, then they really do not know who I am or what lengths I go through to make sure that a transaction is handled in their best interest.

Most West Bloomfield real estate agents are courteous even though people are not always nice to them. They usually make themselves very available to the public giving up their evenings and weekends to work with West Bloomfield clients who only have those times to ‘shop for a home’ in West Bloomfield. As ours is a commission only business, and none of us get paid unless we get a deal to the closing table (and today there are many, many things that have to go right to get to that closing table), as a West Bloomfield real estate agent, we are more than willing to extend ourselves past our comfortable limits.

Our license dictates that we not only care about our West Bloomfield clients but we owe a fiduciary duty to them, meaning we better take care of them or we could be jeopardizing our licenses.

Rude and uncaring people are part of the public and every real estate market; but, they do seem to be more prevalent in today’s West Bloomfield market. Maybe they just don’t think it matters because the market is so bad; but, when you make an appointment with a West Bloomfield real estate agent, you should be just as respectful of their time as they are of yours. If you cannot end up making that appointment then give the real estate agent a call to let them know. Even if the real estate agent is on their way, your call will keep them from having to wait for you just to find out that you are not going to show up. It is bad manners in every aspect to just be a no show; but, when a West Bloomfield real estate agent has arranged, or sometimes even rearranged, their schedule to be of service to you, why would you be so unkind as to not let the real estate agent know that you won’t be making an appointment?

Most every West Bloomfield real estate agent in today’s markets is very appreciative of their clients and I believe that is conveyed to them. Usually it is a two way street as most West Bloomfield clients also do appreciate their real estate agent. Then there always seem to be those few………..
