Dealing with Difficult Realtors

QUESTION
There is a condo next to my parents up for sale for $899,900. No furniture, no up-dates. It really needs my touch. Mom says the realtor is a real, well I'll be direct, bitch. Any comments?

ANSWER
If you know going into something where the realtor is reported to be a "bitch", I don't advise cutting your teeth of this type of person. It could wreck your reputation among other realtors in your area if you have problems, and it certainly won't be any fun for you. Just a thought to ponder. You might want to start with a more simple approach of consultation only, then go for the whole works if you get along. Better yet, wait until you have a good deal of experience under your belt, then approach that realtor.
