Does the agent seem honest?


How does one really know if another person is honest? It’s one of the hardest things to determine. However, over the years I’ve learned to trust my sixth sense about this sort of thing. Just in case you haven’t yet had a chance to develop your sixth sense, here are some things I look out for. I listen carefully to everything the agent says. 

If the agent begins slamming other agents, or others in the field, telling me how bad they are, I sense a problem. At the least this agent is not professional. 

At the worst, he or she is telling tales agent begins telling me how he or she tricked a buyer into giving a seller a better deal (hoping to impress me with ried. In real estate, as in all else, the best deals are where know this agent won’t try to “trick” me in the future? If the agent exaggerates by telling me I can get a higher price than I know is realistic or a quicker deal than seems possible, I get turned off. 

Mr. Kuy Vat, Mr. Po Eav Kong, Mr. Kevin Green and Me.

This agent may not be outright lying, but exaggeration is close to it. If the agent is building an unrealistic world of expectations in me, it can only result in problems down the road. Most of all I listen to see if what the agent tells me sounds sensible. Remember, all it takes to unravel a dishonest person is one small lie.
