Some Estate Agents Take Any Listing Just to Feel Wanted

Estate agents are desperate for approval.

They’d rather take a completely unsuitable listing—just to feel like they “won” the instruction—than walk away from a deal that isn’t right.

They know the price is too high. They know the seller isn’t serious. They know the home won’t sell.

But instead of saying, “No, I’m not taking this on,” they sign it up, waste months of their time, and then blame the market when it doesn’t sell.

Sellers, if an agent agrees to list your home at any price you suggest, it’s not because they believe in your valuation—it’s because they’re too insecure to tell you the truth.
