I often write about things that I really just don't understand or things that realtors do that often don't make sense. I recently posted a blog "Why when the listing status says don't call for status it's usually wrong?" and I just ran into another classic example of this.
I have a client that's interested in viewing a Torrance home and the listing notes state "MLS updated daily - don't call for availability. Offers due via EMAIL by Wed., Aug 19, 5pm."
...That's fantastic so I won't bother you, but the problem is I'm pulling this up on August 24th so obviously this isn't updated daily. Either that or the realtors strategy of trying to create some urgency just didn't work....either way the realtor is making it more difficult to want to show the home. I realize that it can sometimes be overwhelming when you have a well priced listing and you just can't seem to manage the calls, but if you show that the status is updated daily.....do your clients a favor and update it daily.
