an agent centric business model
whatever,
First, I want to apologize to you foremost with the way you were treated as a client by this "Realtor". Based on your information you have provided above you were not treated with respect, honour and professionalism when it comes to an "agency" relationship. This particular "Realtor" should have been brought forth to RECO disciplinary tribunal and should have been "slapped" with a fine and had his/her license suspended.
The Real Estate Industry has it fair share of "bad" apples, perhaps too many!! There are almost 30,000 realtors in the GTA and sadly up to 80% of them are in this profession for the wrong reasons. Many are lured by the $$$ and conduct themselves "selfishly" without disregard to the homeowner or the buyer. The realtor in this percentile do not last long and fade away to obscurity because they will fail. However, it is because of this percentile group that gives realtor a bad image IMO.
The remaining 20% of the Realtors, like me are in this business because we love it and our focus is on the customer/client first and not the $$$. This 20% care about your needs "first" and not the $$$$. The $$$ are secondary in my opinion and the $$$ we earn is because of our hard work, dedications, communication and commitment to our clients. Your're the "boss"!! We represent you! We are here to serve "your needs" and not "ours".
All Realtors must follow a "Code of Ethics" and perform Fiduciary duties to all clients as governed by "Real Estate and Business Brokers Act 2002".( http://www.reco.on.ca/onlineguide/)
This "single" act by this "realtor" does not reflect the conduct of other agents that are affliated with Keller Williams Realty. I am truly sorry for the "bad experience" you have been put through and it is up to this "industry" to "weed" out these people who are in this business for the wrong reason. This is one reason why I became a realtor as I was tired of theses "weeds" that had no respect or time for the consumer. I have over 20years of customer service experience and have always believed that the customer is always right and we are here to serve you! I believe in partnerships and relationships. I believe in hard work, commitment and communications so you can see that I am working for you and not against you. Even if our partnership/relationship fail, I would rather fire myself then give you a "bad experience". Buying and Selling is stressful enough and I don't want to stress you out more then you are or create more anxiety than necessary.
Again, my sincerest apologies for the conduct of that "realtor". It is not the way you should have been treated.
