Bill - I know I am, but it is so unfortunate there are more than just a few in that category
Ruthmarie - it is true that these agent can leave a good impression on their customers. NAR COE does not say that you have to correct another agent if they are making a wrong statement or mistake. It says that we can't interfere with their business.... even when we see that they are hurting their clients
Brenda - I guess she got overwhelmed and being busy with people, forgot. I do not hold grudge for that. I am more upset that she couldhave asked me all the questions in the world about this property, before simply setting the time.
kathy - that's where the problem is. Some agents would try to show everything under certain price hoping that the Buyer would pick something.
Jon- Some like to get a RE license just because!! No interest, no goal, no integrity. I keep saying that type would eventually leave the business but not so.
They not only waste the other agent's time but their Buyers and themselves.
Tifffany - I have to agree with you. Agents can be a difficult part in the transaction.
Stuart - the opposite is also true. An agent, who is not prepared, can make a transaction very difficult
Beth - I think we all were saying that leaner times would rid of those agents, but it did not really happen. Some of them had spouses bringing bread to the table, so they cold afford sitting there doing little to nothing
Jon, what gets me is the agent didn't have the courtesy to call you to say they weren't coming, but left you wondering. You had to call her! Sounds like there are many details to know about the various condos in your market area. I'd say Cyndi knows her stuff. Not all agents do. Enjoyed your post today,
Pamela - that's true, but I was more upset by her not even asking questions, than not calling me. Yes, it wasn't nice by any stretch, but thing happen. We get distracted.... But not knowing your stuff and not trying to learn, it is inexusable.
Thank you
That would probably be the first and last time I would accommodate an appointment request from that agent again. If they called I would prequalify them so hard to make sure the agent wasn't going to cancel on me at the last minute.
Jon, so she wouldn't have bothered to call if you hadn't called her? Yes, thee are agents and there are agents...
Jon, It is part of doing business..not the pleasant part. Just had an agent cancel at the appointment time..while I was entering the home. 'Very sorry but this was not the "right" neighborhood.' She was very apologetic but...Oh well..next.
Margaret
Sorry that happened, I need agents to sell my homes and I see this a lot but I use this as an opurtunity at times to train Realtors on how to deal with me and the next time it works for me.
Margaret - absolutely. And I am not going to feel miserable. It helps me remember and really appreciate the thoughtful ones.
Charles - this is a good way to make your experiences better. Good for you
