Today's market is hard enough and then to have buyers who take up your time expect you drop everything and run when they call only to have them buy something from another agent in the same development you showed them several (4 or more) units. I did not however show them the particular unit they are purchasing. I know upon 1st meeting you should ALWAYS get Agency signed, however, this particular morning I was on my to the office for Phone duty. It was early Sunday morning and my phone started to ring, I rearranged my morning skipped breakfast and headed out the door to meet the eager buyers who couldn't wait to see the Condo's where they had been driving around for the better part of the morning. I meet them and show them 3 of my 4 listings and then proceeded to show them a unit that the builder still had available since they are all on sentri now they are easy to show. I did not however, show the other 2 units the builder had (since they were the same unti just with different kitchens) The buyers thanked me (their words) they had seen enough and needed to get on the road, they gave me their email asked me to send them other listings so they could come back the following weekend. I bid them a good day and we went our separate ways. I sent several emails to them over the week and never received a response. I did however, find out that they had been out on Saturday before our meeting with yet another agent in our other office. So we chaulked it up to buyers unaware. The bottom line here is buyers are not faithful. Its sad because I love my job however, when something like this happens it leaves a sour taste in your mouth with both the agent now getting both sides of the commission and the unfaithful buyer that is lying through their teeth.
Lesson learned.
