Ever had to deal with this issue with a client? It's never a pleasant thing to have to tell someone they need to be on time. Recently my last two buyer clients have had issues making it to appointments on time and I really have to tell them that my time is just as important as theirs. Consumers seem to have this perception that real estate agents are simply sitting behind a desk waiting for someone to call them but in reality there's so much more that has to be done in order to generate business.
As agents we have to plan out our daily activities and hold ourselves personally accountable to ensure that we're successful running our business. Though it is an advantage not having to clock in you can also waste tons of time and accomplish nothing which makes you zero dollars. Having said this clients need to understand that when they disregard our schedule it can be a costly thing for us agents.
I would love to hear some of your solutions to this problem because this is disrespectful of clients. I can completely understand that traffic and other issues can arise but when a client never makes on time that's just not acceptable. Please tell me some of your more memorable stories and how you solved the issue.
