Show Notes
In this episode of Real Talk with Andres & Heather, we dive into a heated real-world scenario every agent dreads:
A buyer goes behind their agent’s back, contacts the seller directly on social media, undermines negotiations, then expects the agent to still write the offer — and cut their commission.
So… was the agent wrong for firing the buyer?
We break down:
-
Buyer representation boundaries and why they matter
-
Why direct buyer-to-seller contact can destroy negotiations
-
How poor expectation-setting leads to deal-killing behavior
-
When it’s appropriate (and professional) to fire a client
-
The difference between emotional reactions and contractual obligations
This episode isn’t about shaming anyone. It’s about real conversations, real consequences, and protecting your business, your boundaries, and your reputation as a real estate professional.
If you’re an agent who’s ever dealt with a nightmare client — or a buyer or seller who doesn’t fully understand the process — this one’s for you.
