On Monday, I wrote a post, about a Buyer that had looked at one of my listings, with another REALTOR® and had called me the next day trying to go behind her REALTORS® back and make an offer directly through me, the listing Broker.

Hi folks. I don't normally post two days in a row but I need to get this one out of my head. I don't like ranting so let's see if I can turn this ridiculous situation into a learning experience.

I had a call earlier today, from a Buyer, that had seen one of my listings yesterday with another REALTOR®. She called to let me know that she really liked the house and she wanted to make an offer.
