…is up at The Pine Needle Lawn. Sorry to be so late saying so, but this dreadfully slow real estate market has us coming and going…
We’re also featured in this week’s Carnival of Business.
And: We have decided that when we host the Carnival of Real Estate (deadline October 8, 2006), we’re going to judge entries according to this theme: “Changing the way real estate is done.” You decide what change would reap the best benefits — and we would love to hear from our dot.com brethren on this subject. So plan ahead now. Think of something dramatic and get scribbling…

…is up at Brownstoner. No BloodhoundBlog this time. We missed the deadline. The people at CoRE headquarters may not know what Realtors do on Sunday afternoons…

Searchlight Crusade is hosting this week’s Carnival of Real Estate. BloodhoundBlog is featured, insisting that there is always room at the top, and we are lucky to be among such an august company. Everything is worth reading, but two posts stand out for me: Spotlight Realty’s practical example of the risk of letting an unscrupulous agent “buy” your listing by promising you a higher price than the market warrants. And The Reality of Real Estate weighs in on a weighty topic: How exclusive employment agreements can be a disservice to the client.
On the latter point, here is language we routinely use on our Buyer Broker Agreements:
This agreement will be terminated without recourse upon written notice by either party.
“Either party” means I get to fire them if I want to, too (and I have done this). “Without recourse” means clients don’t get to fire me and then sue me. I don’t know that that clause will hold up in court, but it’s worth a shot. We use slightly different language on listing contracts, to make it plain that you don’t get to fire us when we’re already under contract (and, of course, practically speaking, as a matter of agency I cannot fire any client when doing so would be to the client’s detriment; a ship’s captain cannot resign under weigh). But, recalling that everything we do is marketing, granting clients the power to jump ship, if they feel they must, is a very effective way of winning their hearts and minds. If you love your clients, set them free…

We’ll post reminders as the date draws nigh, but be sure to hoard all your really good blog ideas for the week of October 2. That way, we’ll be able to feature them when we host the Carnival of Real Estate on October 9th. This week’s Carnival is at Zillow Blog. Next week, the big show moves to Searchlight Crusade, and from there to The Future of Real Estate Marketing, one of our favorite weblogs. It will be a while before the carny caravan pulls into Phoenix — but that just means you’ll have plenty of time to think up really good posts!

Cathy’s call to Realtors to change or die was featured in the inaugural edition of the Carnival of Real Estate. Visit the site. We look upon Zillow.com with a jaundiced eye, but the collected articles are excellent.
