Via Paddy Pizappi PineBush & Hudson Valley NY Real Estate (RJ Smith Realty Real Estate Solutions):

Dear Mr or Ms House Seller,

I am a Buyer Representative.  My goal is to find the right house for my clients and in the process hopefully find a buyer who will want to buy the house you are selling.  I know that it is frustrating when I call for an appointment and you get all ready to show your home then I call and say that I need to cancel.  I am deeply aware of how exhausting it is for you.  Please understand that it is equally frustrating and disappointing to me to work hard preparing to show your home only to have my buyer client call to cancel or to tell me at the last minute that they no longer need to see the house that they put on their list because they have decided sight unseen that it will not do for them.  

I also know that it is frustrating to you when I call through your agent to tell you that we are running late.  I can not help it if the tour I arraigned with experience to include some leeway time gets blown by a late arrival of the buyers or the one house that they want to linger in longer than anticipated.  I try to move things along but they are truly in charge and to frustrate them with tight scheduling will not encourage them to buy any house let alone yours.  The last thing you want is a rushed and harried buyer breezing through your house with a cursory look.

Things happen; people become ill; car's break down; the weather may be horrible; people change their minds: etc. etc.  As a guide I can not control many of the outside forces that determine whether or not I can get those buyers to your door on time or at all.  I promise you that I make every effort to get them there because I want to sell your house.  I make my living by selling people houses.  I really have no other intention.  I do not "derail the train" on purpose and I am truly sorry that you are disappointed by a no show or a late arrival. 

My promise to you is that I will do my best minimize the smily vownumber of no shows by assisting my clients in narrowing choices to the most likely.  I will make every effort to keep to the schedule once it is established. I will call as soon as I can if we are going to be late.  I will not ever purposely create work for you that results in a no show but please note that I can not control every aspect of this.  The buyers are in charge and I am just there to help them.  Hopefully I will help them find their way to your door and they will fall in love with your house.




I wish you the best with your efforts to sell your house.  
I hope it sells quickly and you are soon moving on to your new place.  


I'm Paddy Pizappi - Work with Me and You'll be Happy!

Glad you re-blogged this as I missed it on the first round.  It's an excellent letter and explains all the things that can happen.  Unfortunately ... many sellers don't want to hear it.  They just want their house sold.

It's frustrating for the sellers, but it's just as frustrating for the agents.  More times than not ... that doesn't matter.

Have a happy holiday weekend!

Jennifer,
Says it all, doesn't it?

Carol,
I know, if everyone would just try to put themselves in the other person's shoes.

Hello Susie,
I hear you but unfortunately many do.

Excellent letter... it does say it all. 

We also need a letter from agents explaining why they failed to give feedback for the showing.  Maybe I will work on that letter myself.
