This is what is amazing about the media and language - there is power in not what is only said, but the most inherent power is what is NOT SAID. So, person A says, "I will ignore this whole aspect of this industry ...heh...heh...heh (imagine a thought bubble and drumming fingers of a traditionally dressed real estate agent)... So, again, saying, "I will ignore this whole aspect of the industry because then through ignoring and ignorance I don't vouch, give value to, or agree with the changes being made..." And why does this happen? Because when threatened by newness, the politics of business means covering in the office and just ...doing that - Holding power by NOT mentioning an entire aspect of something. Damn, the news every night - we are dripping as a society in the language laden messages NOT being sent as much as the ones being sent! Sorry, I'm venting but this kind of stuff gets me going ... And well, I'll tell you why... Let me quote the article, But the best advice I can give home sellers is that it is far more important to focus on an agent’s performance, especially in today’s housing market,” said Alex Perriello, president & CEO, Realogy Franchise Group, the parent company of Coldwell Banker and Century 21 Real Estate. Now, please change ONE WORD ABOVE - Make the word sellers to buyers...so that it reads "Best advice I can give home BUYERS is that is far more important to focus on an agent's performance, especially in today's housing market..." Buying anything is an investment. Investing in any relationship is any investment. So, media, get a clue- Start investing some TIME is researching the success stories of EXCLUSIVE BUYERS AGENTS...Maybe they have something to teach? Uh, need I comment more?
