BOTHERING AGENTS ON a HOLIDAY-- FOLLOW-UP!

By
Real Estate Agent with California Lifestyle Realty DRE# 1780607

I wrote a short and simple blog over the Holiday about an actual question that came up-- whether to bother Agents over a Holiday weekend.  It must have hit home, because it was featured and I received 86 comments so far! 

To follow-up,  I did make the call.  It went to VM, but then the Agent texted me back within the hour.  I was able to show my clients a fair number of properties-- and they were very grateful.... they live in another state and came out to visit family for Thanksgiving.  We actually revisited a few of the homes again today-- and we may be making an offer this week. 

I am thankful for all the great comments I received-- the overall consensus was to make the call to the Agent-- let them choose whether to call you back or not.  And do the best job you can for your client-- Holiday or not!

It is never a bother when my phone rings. My sellers always welcome the interest in their properties as well.

I got bothered by a young couple recently, who put in a cash offer and closed in thirty days.  For some reason they could not get in touch with an agent they had been in touch with for a year.  Scary.

Kathy ~ Sounds like "bothering" that agent paid off well for you and your clients.  Real estate can happen any day of the year and it's nice to know you were able to give your clients such great service.
