If you've read my blog for a while you know that one of my biggest 
pet peeves relates to agents who don't answer their phones or don't return calls. It almost always works out to my benefit when I get the call from a potential customer who was unable to get the listing agent on the phone. Sunday was no different.
I received a call from a customer who wanted to see one of my listings. She had a second property she wanted to see, but the listing agent didn't answer the phone, nor did he return her call. He didn't answer my call, and he didn't return my call either. I understand that some agents take Sunday's off. I do that most of the time, but today was a unique situation, so I answered the call.
I'm really glad I took that call. The customer is going to write on my listing this week. That's great! While we were at the second property, a relative of the next door neighbor asked if she could come over and take a look at the house I was showing. Sure, why not? My customer actually invited her over before I had the chance to say anything.
In the process of showing the property listed by the agent who wouldn't respond to the phone calls, I picked up a second customer. The second couple will be in my office this week after their pre-approval is complete. They want to write on the second property. Life is good! Agents, if you're in the Winchester-Clarke-Frederick County market, please, please don't answer your phone. It's helping me have a great year. I really appreciate it!
