8/25 My family has been using a particular real estate agent for everything,
including home purchases, rental home purchases, and rental home
leasing services. She's a very sweet old lady, a close family friend
(well, more of my mom's friend) and only takes 1/2 of the commission
that all the other agents take. She has been trying to help me sell my
home for a while but with the current down-market I'm thinking of
turning it into a rental property. My place is at an area that she's
not familiar with and that she's too far (+50 miles) to show to
prospective clients. I'm thinking of switch to a more local agent.
I feel awfully bad for "ditching" her since she's a family friend.
What can I do to minimize any potential misunderstanding while
keeping our family relationship good?
\_ so you're kicking a sweet old lady to the curb? good job.
survival of the fittest. Stop by at the Salvation Army and pick
up a used copy of Atlas Shrugged for her.
\_ Ignore troll above and just tell her why.
\_ #f, above advice promotes free market competition which
is good for everyone in the long run
\_ Actually, you might even ask her for a recommendation.
\_ Not a bad idea, because she can still collect a referral
fee from the other broker.
