Agreed. Generally all that matters is making the client happy.If that was true in this case, then what difference did it make whether he negotiated the deal or not?
The difference is that He popped off in the press that he could do just as good a job as an Agent. In terms of satisfying himself & his family, he did. In terms of doing as good a job as an experienced Agent, he left AT LEAST $5-10 million on the table. 5% of $35 million is $1.75
million he saved in commissions vs. the $5-10 million his desire to thumb his nose at Agents cost him.
Don't know about your world, but that's alot of money in mine. If he didn't want it, he could have always given it to charity or the HSBBW.

Bet the house, the farm AND your IRA that if Rocket comes back, whatever deal he signs will be done by Alan & Randy Hendricks.
