Oh, for crying out loud! Who asked you? Yes, you, the friend, relative, non-stake-holder who is along to view the home as a courtesy! Do you really think we need to hear how smart you are? Must you recite all possible flaws in the home? Is now when you need to suggest I should throw in most my paycheque to seal the deal? Do you figure scaring the buyers about all manner of horror you've heard or dreamt about is a timely discussion? Really?
Because you were on a house building summer job back in the day; do you think you know all relevant construction implications? Because you don't like yellow -- is all yellow evil?
Do you feel like sucking every last ounce of joy out of the process and idea of this new home for the buyer is rendering an indispensable service? Are you really a mortgage expert too? And, really, you know interest rates fate even before the Bank of Canada?
Oh, and you read on line about well problems in South Dakota and figure that might be important to this home in the North Okanagan? And, the cousin of a friend's brother back in Albert had a septic field quit so this one might too?
And do make sure to treat the trained, educated and experienced Realtor like a scullery maid that forgot your orange juice. We all know you are far more aware of how to shepherd this buyer into the right home than the Realtor who has helped more people securely buy and sell property in the last 6 months than you will have in your lifetime.
Buyers and sellers...if these comments sound like anyone you're tempted to bring along to any showing or negotiation just back up the bus right now!
Your ethical, caring, knowledgeable and experienced Realtor has been hired by you for good reason. A second-guessing-doubting-Thomas-wanting to throw their weight around to "protect" you may very well be the cause of a good deal going bad.
And, you, if you hear yourself in these words and happen to be along....zip it. Please.
Thank you.
