Your Brain Fart Shouldn't Be MY Problem

JAckie - you know - some days I wonder how some of the agents I call on manage to make enough money to buy food just because of this type of behavior.  Great post!

Sounds like you made the best of an awkward situation :)

I guess finding the date on your planner is a problem right? Checking the date on a calendar is a problem too?

Not sure if I'm reading this right ... were all of these showings by appointment only? In our market just about all of the homes are on lockboxes which makes it much more efficient.

I hate that...  I'm glad that we have Supra boxes here...  I hate having to meet agents at properties. 

Now that's making lemonade out of lemons! Great story.

Amen on the graphic! Terrific!

Jackie,

Loved your title of your post. :) and the picture too. :)

Yes, I've been a bit distracted over the past couple months. Glad to be back in the swing of things, though. Congrats on the feature, my ARBFF!   :)

The pictures hysterical.  It's frustrating to have things like this happen though it sounds like it turned into a nice day.

If I had been that agent I don't think I'd have called back to tell you I made a mistake.

We have so many Vacant here homes I could fly through about 7 homes as fast I can drive to them but I have felt your pain at least you had a nice ending.

Very simple: you have a client for life, with all the referrals that entails. Listing agent on house #2 will have an expired listing with an unhappy seller, probably not their first, but perhaps one of their last. They'll either figure it out soon, or they will be serving you bagels next time you take a client out! Great job!

Ah, yes....the "We have to sell our condo first!" While your clients are at it - I have a condo in West Palm Beach - can they sell it, too?

Enjoyed the blog - common problem of having to jostle numerous showings around to accommodate one person's memory lapse.

I've been there too.  Very frustrating but it is the nature of our beast.

I'm glad that your day turned out well- how much nicer (as would have been the case in most areas in the country, on any given day) to competently view 5 owner (out for a walk/at work/out to dinner) homes in peace with your buyers, work through decisions in the privacy of "their" potential home, and carefully turn off the lights, as you place the key back into the lockbox. Sometimes making things extraordinarily complicated justifies...exactly what, on Long Island?

Love the graphic!

We do that when agents mess up our time schedule or planning.  Throw in an area tour or lunch and discuss what we have been seeing and the offer strategy.

Boca is our service area, so if you need help...give us a call, but if it is priced correctly it will sell! Joy

Jackie, in real estate we sometimes are challenged by others who can really complicate things.

TY

Jackie, love the pic! Scheduling showings can be a major hassle. You were beyond patient trying to reshuffle everything to accommodate that agent...sound like you had a great day anyway! :)
