Realtors get stuck in the “middle-man pressure cooker.”

Most Realtors today are dealing with this problem:

They’re held responsible for work they didn’t do, don’t control, and can’t guarantee, but homeowners still expect THEM to manage it.

Here’s what that looks like in real life:

  • Contractors don’t communicate clearly
    Homeowners call the Realtor when timelines slip, quality is questionable, or the contractor doesn’t show up, even though the Realtor has no authority over the contractor.

  • Homeowners assume the Realtor knows construction
    They expect the agent to explain repairs, judge quality, and verify work… which most agents are not trained for.

  • Someone has to check if the job is done right
    Realtors usually end up doing walk-throughs with zero construction background, and they’re terrified of missing something that could kill a deal.

  • Last-minute repair chaos before closing
    Work gets rushed, corners get cut, and agents look bad even when it’s not their fault.

  • Trust breaks down
    Buyers blame sellers. Sellers blame contractors. Contractors blame timing.
    And the Realtor becomes the complaint department for everyone.
