For the service industry, our first priority is to
serve our clients best. And from my experience and
my education(MBA), if we can have the best service, we do
not need to worry about the pay checks.

But it's not truely the case for everyone. Last Friday,
I spent a lot of time with a buyer agent who asked
me to work with the buyer to ask buyer to sign
the agreement to remove the loan contigency.
Though the loan was conditionally approved, I did
not suggest to remove since the appraisal report
was not completed(buyer will have some risk
of losing the deposit check if anything wrong with
the appraisal report).

This buyyer agent wrote about 5 emails to me to
push us to remove the contigency, he did not
even try to work with the listing agent to
ask for the extension. The listing agent is very
reasonable guy and agreed to extend for a few more
days after our requests.

I don't understand why a selling agent was
so unwilling to work on buyer's side. And I
talked to another buyer this weekend, who
tried not use him as agent any more since
this buyer also knows the agent just works
for the money, the check, and not trying to
do a little bit more for his clients.
