New Consumer Article: Why You Don't Want A "Top Producer" Listing Your Property
The new consumer article for today is Why You Don't Want A "Top Producer" Listing Your Property. The agent makes money hand over fist, but they haven't got the attention to spare for getting the best price on your property, they impose arduous and illegal conditions on prospective buyers to make life easier for the agent while scaring off prospective buyers and making those that do stick around willing to pay less.
To be perfectly fair, there are exceptions to this. I can name at least one, although not in San Diego so I don't have experience dealing with him directly but I have heard good things about him from agents who've dealt with him. None of the "top producers" I've dealt with here in San Diego are worth the ink on their business card. But if you suspect they're a top producer who is an exception, you might want to investigate before you sign up with them. It is critical to choose an agent who has the time to market your property correctly, negotiate effectively with all offers that get made, not scare prospective buyers off and not cause them to offer tens of thousands of dollars less because it's such a problem to deal with the listing agent.

Logical failures (straw man, ad hominem, red herring, etcetera) will be pointed out - and I hope you'll point out any such errors I make as well. If there's something you don't understand, ask.
