The Time I Got Fired

Edna Wilson • October 18, 2021


Hey! I want to tell you today about a time I got fired. What? It's true! So. not too long ago, I took a listing, it wasn't a good fit from the very beginning. I knew that it was not a good fit, too, but I wanted to help these people, so I thought "I'm gonna do it". So, I told the gentleman "Yes I'm all in" got the pictures taken, spent my money, got everything done, went live, and got a contract (offer), but he wouldn't take the offer because now he wanted more money than what they offered what our asking price was which was already ridiculous, and can I tell you, it just spun out of control. It really spun out of control, but you know what? Here's my thing, I think you should trust your gut. I knew from the first time I sat and talked to him it was not a good fit for me, but I didn't trust my gut, I pushed through, I got to be honest with you, it cost me hundreds and hundreds of dollars, because I eat all of that money when a listing doesn't happen, right? If I list your house and I do the photography and I do all the media stuff I do, and do things like this for your house, it comes out of my pocket, and I don't get paid until we close. It was a good lesson: Trust Your Gut.
