Real Estate Views from St Pete

Rob had been showing property to a client over a period of the last month, negotiating on one property, coming close on another. It seemed what the wife liked the husband found some excuse not to buy and vice versa. While the wife was professing eternal loyalty to Rob, the husband was being pressured from their landlord to look at property through him. Ah, they found a property which Rob showed them today. They plan to make an offer on it - through Rob.  The wife told him that the husband liked the house more than she did, so if she agreed to buy it, he'd have to agree to use the agent she preferred, Rob. They signed the buyer exclusive agency agreement today (yes, that should have happened at the beginning, but sometimes things just get delayed.  I thought it was an interesting husband/wife negotiation - one picks the house, the other picks the agent!
