How Long Does It Take You To Respond To An Email?

Email Response TimeThere’s no set answer to this in my opinion. I’m just curious on the average time during the hours of say 8am to 7pm. My question is prompted by a recent scenario that left me scratching my head.

 

I left a VM for an agent last Sunday to check and see if a vacant bank owned property was still available for showings. After I didn’t hear back I sent an email Monday and then Tuesday my client and I decided we would head out to see it even though I hadn’t received a response to my call or email. It’s a Fannie Mae property and I went ahead and took the steps to submit an offer online Wednesday. I like to let the listing agent know when I’ve done this so I went ahead and responded off my first email to keep the chain organized. At 7pm last night I received an email response with yes, it’s still available please go ahead and show.

 

Pause…..

 

Ummm…thanks, I think. Hope you didn't stress yourself out responding so fast. Are you so far behind on your emails that you haven’t seen I’ve already submitted an offer?? Did my voice mail go into a black hole? My email response time varies, most are within an hour but, if I’m driving and out showing it might be a couple hours. No typing and driving for this girl. I know for darn sure it’s never more than 24 though, not even close.
