In real estate and in life, accountability is a big test of character. If you can't be the grownup in the room, this especially is the wrong business to be in.

I screwed up recently with one of my listings and as soon as I became aware of it I called my seller and told them I had made a mistake and I already took care of it and I'm sorry. I kept the listing and got another listing to boot because the seller respected me for my honesty and no excuse mentality...

It is one of my pet peeves in anything in life! I have found that people respect you so much more if you accept responsibility for your actions and explain the steps that you are taking to resolve things. I really dislike when people point fingers at others and say it wasn't their fault.

I let it go in one ear and out the other. Folks that blame stuff on 'whatever' haven't figured the game of life and business out yet. Over the years a few of us have joked about this blame game - let's just blame somebody else as they seem to all think that will work out fine - lol - and it is so much easier then fessing up and saying - I screwed up. Own up to it, find a solution and move forward. Anything else? No......

That is one of my pet peeves also.
Then SPRINT decided to engage in mischief and my calls and mail and messages did not come in. I'm sure "I didn't get your message' sounded like an excuse to those who were disappointed.....but the reality is,
'SH** happens."
Chaos happens but we still need to be kind.
We know not the burden under which others strain.
Be slow to judge and quick to forgive.

Paul S. Henderson, REALTOR®,CRS, I agree! It is always the agent's fault when things don't go right especially with a seller. Overpriced: Agent's fault; Seller won't do repairs: Agent's fault; Long time on market: Agent's fault We could go on and on.
However, it the agent makes a mistake they should immediately own up to it and move on to get the job done.

I feel they're not going to last very long. People get tired of that type very quickly, and their negativity is often contagious - better to remove them than put up with them.

Off with their heads. Seriously, I find with Q&A you can see one after another AR member adding with humility where they struggle and looking for help when here it comes. Whatever the topic, two members distance themselves and say oh no. They never have that happen. Different kind of pet peeve because it does not add to the conversation value. Should be providing examples that help, to share how you struggled and overcame but don't make it sound like you never ever had this or that situation come up when we all know you have if you've been around the real estate rodeo for a few market sessions Paul S. Henderson, REALTOR®,CRS, !
