Excuse Me Sir, But You Are A Pinhead

Real Estate Agent with Compass

 

Having  lead generation websites sometimes has it's downside.  Our MLS, NTREIS is one of the largest in the nation.  I believe it covers about 500 square miles and 31 Counties in North Texas.  So as a result I get leads that are way out of my trade area and to serve the customer I have tried to find good agents that I can send these leads to on a referral basis in those areas.

So, I get a few leads that are looking for homes or properties in Abilene Texas which is a 2 1/2 hour drive from Fort Worth.  I don't know anything about Abilene or the market there.  To service these customers I went on Active Rain to find a good and comptent realtor to take care of these people.

I called this agent and we agreed to terms and I started sending him leads last week.  The following is an email I received from him last evening a week after the first lead.


Why that SWEET Fucking “ Glenn Gary” led turn cold? You tossing me out BS ?If you are do that I will gladly do the same to you and let you I don’t  send time on losers that don’t even want info sent to them SEND ME GOOD Leads or got loet;

 

 I'll be more careful who I send leads to from now on.

Happy Trails,

Donnie

I can't believe it!!!! What a nutcase, this agent is.... How would you know what leads are? And isn't it our job, as realtors, to follow up with every potential lead? You never know how good, or bad (I have had a share of those too) they are until you meet them?

Great post, Donnie.

Hi Donnie - I found the reference to one of my favorite movies troubling - I wouldn't want to have anything in common with this jerk. And he sounds so literate and competent too. Better luck next time.
