I made a rookie mistake and lost a great client last month. It was a young couple who verbally agreed to buy a house, which I should never have trusted. When I pushed to get the official papers signed, they felt too pressured and fired me. I was trying to explain why it was important to sign papers, but they wouldn't listen. It was a tough lesson. Have you ever let a deal rest on a verbal agreement, and what was the fallout?

They did you a favor. Until the offer is in writing - it is nothing. They just saved you alot of wasted time...

You did what you thought was best! Don’t get too hung up on them!
