Absolutely not. In fact when I go to a listing appointment I let the prospective sellers know I am interviewing them as much as they are interviewing me.

As I do not take pills NO!

No, & I have been conflicted with an upcoming listing which I believe will now be overpriced. Now the market has changed with more listings in the same neighborhood offering more making the LP I said incorrect.

Somehow I will have to breech that topic to the seller.

No, listings are money out of your pocket if they don't sell.

Guilty like James Dray in the past, but that was then!

I have in the past but no more.

"But what price?" ....The proper price. The comps always reveal the truth of the market and...the market determines the value, not the seller, not the agent and certainly not "the need". It's up to the listing agent to guide the seller to that price. If there's too great a difference of opinion, I walk, as an over priced listing:

1. wastes my time, talent, money & energy.

2. makes me look like an amateur & desperate to have that listing (when I'm not).

3. creates animosity between agent & seller by day 30

When you know better you do better.

The "right" price TeamCHI - Complete Home Inspections, Inc. !! 

Good question, unlike most of the other responses I usually do as long as everyone on board knows who is in the drivers seat. I can handle those buyers agents just fine!

No we are very selective. 

No.

no

No! I'm like Nina Hollander I'm interviewing them as much as they are interviewing me.

Absolutely NOT!  We put our reputations on the line with each listing we represent.

Absolutely not.  That does not serve a client or my business well.

I only take listings that I know will sell, with reasonable sellers.

Once again, I'm with Nina Hollander.

Not always

No I am select on the properties and the sellers. I now only take listings that fit into my business model and niche.

we will list a variety....the "toilets" are tear downs..... we like those.... what we don't like are many of the owners.... when there's a personality clash, we say good bye....

Nina is exactly correct same for me

I try not to, but on occasion I have.

It is not always about price, but some properties have issues and you know, they are can not be resolved easily.

nope. 

NO I don't take a listing that the seller wants to grossly overprice.  I would rather be the second or third agent in that scenario.

No. There are listings I would not take, for a number of reasons

The only ones I don't take is where the seller is not honest with me or is hiding things. Sometimes I find this out before I sign them up and sometimes after in which case I threaten to fire them. I will not put my license at risk. Often, I can get them turned around when they realize what trouble they can get into. Only had 2 like that, one during a listing, one whose listing I did not take. Everyone else, bring it on.

Oh, Lord, Heavens .... no.  Not this gal.  I value my sanity far more than anything else on this God Given Green Earth.  

I had to read the replies below before answering, as I have seen us take all Listings, and after now being a realtor for almost a year, I see how 'things can progress' 'or not' with some Listings.  I would be more selective, because I have seen homes on the Market for over 120 days with multiple price reductions and no Offers.  I have seen neighbors come over during an Open House and say, 'I wonder why this house hasn't sold, it's lovely - they are such a sweet couple!'  Their house looks similar inside, and they see nothing wrong with it, and no one has done any up-dates over 30 years.  Not many older folks who are snowbirds, want to or can do complete remodels on a second home - I know some are also unrealistic in wanting to live in this community, and want a house that is in today's style and not the styles from 30 years ago!  And how does it make you look when your sign is out front for months and it is going no where, and the Sellers are not happy with you.  True you meet new prospects who are 'just in town for a week and going to all Open Houses looking at floor plans'.  True you talk with neighbors who come over to ask 'why hasn't this house sold'.  And if some are 'interviewing you' is anything coming across positive because they see the house 'not moving'.  Excellent question TeamCHI - Complete Home Inspections, Inc.!!  

No... and I didn't with property management either.  Not worth the headaches or return on investment of time, energy and $$$.

No.

Great Q and very interesting A's from our ActiveRain members

I Mostly take a listing because I should. Its good for all parties when I do

TeamCHI - Complete Home Inspections, Inc. No, I let the new agents list these. They need the practice. Whose fault is it when it doesn't sell? The agent is the one who gets bad-mouthed.

No.  The seller must be motivated and price the home correctly.  All listings are not assets.

Typically not.  

We don't take every listing that comes along. I'd prefer to leave some of the less marketable ones to competitors.

It is what we do. I won't take one that is way over priced or has been passed around by multiple agents.

Good morning Michael. Someone will sell the property, so why not take the listing?

TeamCHI - Complete Home Inspections, Inc. we are taught not to take overpriced listings.

Now I wonder what do I call a listing overpriced where all listings are selling at lot more than asking price?

I have become much more selective in my old age.

Once in a while, but not often.

Team Chi, 

We did not do that.  A
