Our Public Pledge

Real estate professionals, like in few other industries, regularly promote their successes publicly, their sales volume, how much money they make, where they rank in their community and how often they represent both the buyer and a seller in a single transaction.

Our experience is that these numbers and these claims not only change monthly, but are aggregated and deciphered loosely—often making the information suspect if not flat out wrong.  We all want to be successful.  In any sales business we all want the world to know we’re successful.  But the path to and quest for being #1 in the local real estate marketplace has become fraught with deceit and risk for the consumer.

[THE BLACKSTONE TEAM], at Mott & Chace Sotheby’s International Realty, has been helping buyers and sellers for almost 20 years and one of the top teams by sales volume and service within the industry for the last decade.  While we have long been employing a collaborative team structure to better serve our clients, rather than serving our own best interests, starting now, more so than ever before, we are putting our money where our mouths are.  We pledge the following:

1. To never promote our successes, monetary or otherwise—only our clients properties, our clients’ interests and the praise they bestow upon us;
2. To never disparage our fellow realtors during client meetings, on social media or privately among friends, family or acquaintances;
3. To never choose our own interests above our clients and to respect their privacy on the level of Hippocratic Oath;
4. To never represent both sides of a transaction (double-ending), be that as a Dual Facilitator or Transaction Facilitator.

As a real estate consumer, you should not be just a statistic, a dollar sign in the eyes of your representative.  Your interests are not sales volume, not a commission check nor bragging rights.  Do your due-diligence.  Make sure who you hire as your buyers’ or sellers’ agent has your interests alone in sharp focus.
