Have you ever felt that the real estate agents you meet at open houses are like that disgusting piece of gum stuck to the bottom of your shoe on a hot summer day? After reading the below info, play the video at the bottom of this page

Now, here's something also important to keep in mind. Real estate agents are "bait and switch" animals. It’s one of the reasons that according to a Gallup poll, only 25% of respondents ranked real estate agents in the high or very high rating for honesty. At least we ranked better than members of Congress (9% high/very high). So let’s dig into one of the behaviors of real estate agents that cause this low ranking.

We know the chances of selling the house we're holding open is less than 5%. We know this because of the surveys professional real estate organizations diligently conduct for business sourcing.

So why do real estate agents bother with such low odds? No, it’s not because they’re stupid. It’s because agents will bait and switch you from the house you just visited to "...oh, you don't like this house, well let me show you this shiny object over here..."

Therefore to prevent these agents from gluing themselves to you like that used up chewed up piece of gum stuck to the bottom of your shoe on a hot summer day, do these two steps:

1. When they ask you for your name, just say, "I'm working with George Fotion"

2. and when they ask you to sign their guest register because "the owner wants to know who's been in their house" (what a crock), just write down my name.
