Diminished Returns

Lilly called me again. She has found the most fabulous real estate agent! This guy has not practiced in 10 years, but he is a "broker" in the Tucson area. Therefore, she won't need my help (I wasn't offering). However, she had a few questions: 

1. Do I know a professional photographer that she (not the agent) can call to get pictures taken? 

2. Do I have a sign post he can borrow? Yes, I have one. No he can't. 

3. Can he borrow one of my lockboxes? Um...

I am already horrified for this poor guy. Clients who micromanage and tell us how to do our job are tough to work with in general. But she is doing all the legwork for him. It is up to him to activate his license, learn all there is to know about the Tucson real estate market and Arizona contract, join a real estate firm, pay his MLS dues, and get all the equipment necessary to run his business. 

More to the point: He should be horrified his client has already proven she doesn't trust him to do his job right. 

Currently, I'm taking a break from Lilly. I already have enough on my plate without this. I hope her agent works out and she gets the very best price for her house. I really do. But I won't be used.
