That's not correct.

Here's our offerings:

For Sellers:
For $1,200, we will list your home on the MLS and help guide you through closing.

For Buyers:
Whatever commission a seller offers, we'll rebate you all but 1% of it. Typically, sellers offer buyers agents 3%, so in the typical transaction, we'll get 1% at closing, and the buyer will get 2%.

If a buyer wants to use us as their representation, and wants to see a home, my team's time is worth $150 an hour (one showing), and we charge buyers that for as many showings as they want to see.

Landlords:
We'll list your home on the MLS for $500, forward unrepresented tenants to you for showings, and give you advice through lease signing.

In summary, our services aren't for everyone. But we have already helped several Aggies in each of the ways described above, and saved and made some good folks some decent money. Part of the problem with traditional residential brokerage services is that the service and the fees don't sync up. Our model is attempting to do away with the commission model and create a system where you purchase services at a fee and you know what your costs are from the beginning. I'm not even the first broker to offer these services this way, and I'm guessing I won't be the last.

I forgot to mention that through December 12th, 2018, whatever listing service you sign up for, all proceeds go to the Captain Ernesto Blanco '98 Memorial Scholarship fund. You can make the donation directly to the A&M Foundation or pay me and I'll donate it.

Why was my review of my experience of Red Pear Realty removed? It was a negative but very accurate view of how I was just treated and TexAgs removed it?

After we read your post, we spoke to Red Pear Realty and he said he would jumped in on the conversation to explain the situation.

I know how Red Pear Realty does business, as he has been extremely professional with us. We took down the post because it did paint a clear picture of the entire situation. I'm not saying it wasn't accurate from your view, but you didn't have the details of what was happening on the other end of the line.

I'm responding to this because I don't want you to feel like you can't talk about your experience. I would bet money that if you get in touch with Red Pear Realty again, you will have a completely different experience.

Wow.

I will now be VERY hesitant to do business with TexAgs sponsors as I can't trust TexAgs won't continue censoring negative experiences folks have had with them.

How did I not have views of what happened. I typed out specifically what happened and he said it didn't and you take my view down.

I called Red Pear Realty and the person mumbled something. I said "Yes I am looking for Red Pear Realty". He said "This is him" I said, "Whats your name" so I didnt have to keep calling a grown man Red Pear Realty. He replied with "I dont need to give that information, if you have a question you can ask" I was shocked at his response and said "Wait What" He then said "Nice talking to you, good luck" and then hung up on me

As someone that did not hear my conversation Logan, how was this not a clear picture of what happened?

For the record he called me "Once" and then sent me a text. So even calling me twice is not accurate. Not trying to throw nonstop shade on the guy, but so far I am the only person that has told any truth here.

Looks like the rest of us can figure out what happened. Sounds like both sides could use some training in how to start a phone conversation.

For starters, when I pick up the phone and call someone that I want to work with I start with, "Hi, I'm One MEEN Ag I'm looking for ____."

That way the person on the other end doesn't get the impression that I'm trying to fish some itunes gift cards out of them to resolve some mysterious IRS debt.

As a side note, Red Pear Realty, you might want to start including your real name in your sign off. At the end of the day you are selling yourself-not a brand.

This devolved quickly. MEEN has a point regarding a professional way to start a conversation but it sounds like Red Pear is a sole proprietor with one phone for both personal and business calls. I don't care if you think it's spam or not... that's a very questionable phone etiquette approach when just any any call could be a potential customer.

Its basic phone etiquette that when you are calling somebody who doesn't know who you are, you introduce yourself after they answer, not start asking questions.

Further, you don't immediately go on the internet and disparage a business without attempting to rectify what obviously is a communication issue

***STAFF**** Can we kill this thread? It has been derailed for days now. Thanks.
