Imagine, you are upset with lousy service, so you go to Google and search for "short sale Realtor Tallahassee Florida."

Hopefully, you choose the link that brings you to the leader in Tallahassee short sales.

Unfortunately, many have found other ways to search for a short sale Realtor Tallahassee Florida, and it has caused nothing but heartache.

Short Sale Realtor Tallahassee Florida Sought

I received the following email from a reader. He no longer lives in Tallahassee and has been trying to sell his home for more than 3 years!

I did not ask him how he chose his short sale Realtor, but he ended up with a big "Brand X" company which is known for hiring anybody with a license, regardless of their work ethic or training.

Joe - I am looking to change agents for selling my home in Tallahassee. I am short selling the home and have dropped the price over and over again, but my current agent does not call me (even monthly). I'm not looking for a miracle sale, I'm looking for an agent who keeps their word to me as the seller... We are currently living [outside of Tallahassee] and MUST get out from under this burden of 3 years. -- Frustrated Homeowner

I wish I could say that this is a rare event, receiving an email from somebody who has not been treated very well by a real estate agent. But this is far more the rule than the exception when somebody has wanted to be working with a short sale Realtor Tallahassee Florida.

Short Sale Realtor Tallahassee Florida Found

Should I Talk To A Short Sale Agent Tallahassee FloridaWhen I read the message above, I see so much opportunity to help this frustrated homeowner. It is obvious he did not initially do the right research in finding his short sale Realtor Tallahassee Florida, but he seems to be on the right track now :).

The fact that he has been trying to sell a home in Tallahassee for three years is very sad, and I bet we will have his home under contract within three months (and most likely much sooner). Carol Armbrister (pictured above) is the finest Tallahassee short sale Realtor and will help him resolve his home selling problem.

His agent does not communicate with him ... and this is very common with part-time agents who either are too busy with their "other job," or are too scared to call him and tell him that they are doing nothing to sell his home. If you have a home for sale in Tallahassee, your real estate company should be talking with you  regularly.

Finally, and perhaps the saddest point, is that he isn't looking for a miracle, he just wants somebody to treat him as a valued customer.

I promise you that now he is selling a home with Century 21 First Realty, he is a valued customer!

Part time and short sale is not a workable solution.

Amen Doug! Yet it is not uncommon to find this un-workable solution out there.

Ran into a couple of those terrible short sale agents lately who won't return phone calls. Bad enough that some these are short sales and they have a short period of time to get the house sold after receiving a notice of default...but to have unresponsive, unreliable agents who don't have a clue as to what it takes?

Sad.
