Yet Again Another Head Scratching Moment
My saga searching for access to a property with an elusive REO(real estate owned/also known as bank owned)broker continues. Hours turned into days and now almost one full week after my email was sent, this morning at 3:06 AM a response was received.
It read:
Hi,(isn't that special, my name was not included)
Thank you for contacting (name of broker removed). We appreciate your interest in our property. The subject property is currently available. Please be informed that your license has been approved(it had also been approved six months ago when I initially logged in to this particular showing website). We request you to get login to your account and access the access code(I did login this morning and the access code remains incorrect - surprise). The concerned Property Management Company has been advised to get the correct code at the property(but has yet to be completed, huh? why tell me to sign in and get the code????) It will be done at the earliest.(earliest what??) We would recommend you to contact the concerned Property Management Company at XXX-XXX-XXXX for updates(nah, I don't have the time). If you have any further questions, please feel free to call us at XXX-XXX-XXXX. You may also e-mail us at ====== or fax us at -------------. We respond to all inquiries within 24 hours of receipt(who's counting, right?).
By the way -- on the automated system with the incorrect combination code for the property, there is an offer that has been submitted and this website gives the status and the price of that offer(which is now $12,000 more than it was a week ago but still substantially below the list price).
Sorry, I will not be attempting to show this listing, Mr REO Broker --- I really can find something else for my clients. I can't wait to get your automated request for feedback of my showing. Believe me, it will be full of details, please forward to your seller(the bank which probably provides you with lots of listings).
