I was just reading a few blog posts here this morning on ActiveRain about unethical agents and a similar situation that has happened to me a couple times came to mind. It has to do with another agent passing out their business cards to someone else's buyers!
Can someone PLEASE explain to me why another agent would hand one of my buyers their business card in front of me? Please tell me your reasoning behind this. I sure would like to know!
You know....the listing agent that shows up to let you in for the showing and when leaving they hand your buyer one of their business cards "just in case they have any questions" or need anything.
I have thought about this from just about every angle to try and come up with a logical answer and the only logical answer I can come up with, is you are handing them your business card with the hopes that if for some reason they have a question, you are hoping that they will call you instead of me and you can then attempt to lure them in as your buyer. Why else do you ever hand someone your business card? The whole purpose of giving someone your business card is in hopes that they will call you!
Can someone please explain the logic behind doing this? Inquiring minds would like to know!
Anyone else ever had this happen to them? I know I am not alone here. What did you do or what would you have done? I didn't do or say anything to that agent, but what was running through my mind wasn't pleasant!
Wonder if they would mind too much if I showed up at their open houses to solicit their buyers? Hey I could pass out my business cards to anyone that shows up! What a novel idea!
