We had issues with our agent when we sold our house.

Long story, but she kept telling us that we couldn't do something when we knew we could.

So, we called her office manager and asked to have another realtor from their office represent us for the remainder of the escrow period. The office manager didn't understand why the realtor was being so difficult with us since it was an easy fix.



Good luck.

At restaurants, smart managers do a spot exchange between wait staff on a table if the client is unhappy with service.

The client is satisfied, and blames the waiter instead of the restaurant.

The manager has quelled the issue, perhaps offers a concession (free dessert?), and collects the bill.

Unbeknownst to the guest, the original waiter often gets the tip.



qiqi - <strong>Why </strong>do you want to fire your partner in this transaction?

We didn't care if the original realtor got the commission. In fact, we assumed she would.

We just didn't want to deal with her any more.

I won't bore you with the details and there's no need to raise my blood pressure talking about it again. ;-P
