It has been a “go to” catch line for businesses over the years – including real estate agents – that “Company X will go all the way for you”.
Ashley Dupre, who has a checkered past, has earned her broker's license in New York City.
When (presumed) former call girl Ashley Dupre earned her broker’s license to sell real estate in New York City this tag line took on a slightly different hue.
Do You Really Want an Agent That Goes All the Way?
Well that depends on what the definition of “all the way” is — no this isn’t a play on former-President Bill Clinton. However, I don’t see myself as being the “decision maker” in this transaction. There are always times when my job isn’t to go all the way, but rather to guide you through the transaction and allow you to self-discover the best situation for you at this time.
- You Want to Buy a House. I’ve got a lot of clients that are on a drip-campaign as they work on credit issues or their life becomes more stable. However they all came to me with the same assumption — they wanted to buy a house. However, I led them to self-discover that they are not currently in the best position to purchase a home.
- Little Things Getting in the Way. Every house has issues. Period. End of Story. There is a disclaimer that has to be signed that states that every home has mold in it — and it is true. Should that stop you from buying the house? Not if you are comfortable with the state of the home. Sometimes, my job is to get through the “clutter” and get you past small things – wall color, etc. – and looking at the big things like that huge crack running through the basement.
- Over-Stated Marketing. Home buyers are more informed than they’ve ever been. They know how much you paid, they know what Zillow says about your house, they know all this before they walk in the front door. So us telling them that your 2-bedroom 800 square foot home on a block of 5-bedroom 5,000 square foot homes is the “best value on the block” isn’t going to sell the home. This is the world of transparency.
I wish Ms. Dupre the best of luck in her real estate career, but I’ll just continue to work my way.
