In contrast to the other agent we met with (Hong Wolfe), Dava was not willing to give us any estimate of the price she would sell the house for. She only let us know this when she met with us, not in response to our invitation which specifically asked for this service -- which we felt was misleading. She claimed that pricing info was part of the services she would only provide if we hired her. She lost any potential business with us right there -- because A) it was misleading, and B) a rough price estimate is the way a real estate agent can demonstrate their value, by letting the seller know how much MORE they might make on the sale if they go with an agent. Dava ran through every page of an informational binder, but didn't seem to catch on that we already knew most of what she was presenting -- and she kept trying to tell us how hard it would be to sell ourselves. This was a further turnoff. Dava was a nice woman, but we did not appreciate her demeanor as an agent.
Description of Work: We asked Dava to meet with us at our house to give us an estimate of what we might sell our house for. As with another agent, we let her know that we planned to try selling the house ourselves, but if that didn't work, we would seek an agent.

Response from Dava Behrens, Broker
It is unfortunate that this client's perception of the services provided by real estate agents is skewed. I was invited to view the property and was under the impression that I was there to provide an overview of the services which are included once I’m hired. The pricing recommendation, along with many other recommendations, is just one of many things that an agent provides once they are hired. What he was asking for was my professional opinion without hiring me. Further, this was my first visit to the property in many years and I’m hesitant to provide a recommendation without appropriate levels of research once I’ve seen the property. It seems like he wanted to benefit from professional services without hiring a professional. No business stays in business that follows that business model.
