You're a typical jerk....oh really? Phoenix Home Buyers Heating Up
The Phoenix real estate market it hot hot HOT, as is the weather. As a result we've been seeing tempers flare and people acting out in ways their Momma wouldn't be proud of - one tiny bit. And let's not forget to mention it's quite annoying too!
Yesterday we had a rather unpleasant guy call on a brand new listing that had been on the market all of 
about 2 seconds. My assistant took the call and said he was nice the first minute or so but after she asked him if he was working with an agent he started to get pushy and demanding. He wanted to know this and know that - and quite frankly - he wanted to know confidential information of which she is never allowed to disclose. She suggested that he call his agent and ask him/her to call Anna directly. Well he didn't like that solution at all. He yelled at her with a few choice words and then called her a typical jerk and then slammed the phone done.
Really? She's a typical jerk because
she's doing her job correctly?
She's a smart cookie and doesn't get caught up in all the drama. She simply relayed the scenario to me and asked me if she acted properly. Of course she did. The man stated he had is own agent and was asking confidential questions. She offered a simple solution in a polite manner and he rejected it. Oh well. Too bad for him it's a really nice home.
And then I read Julie Vosmick's post about an unruly nasty buyer this afternoon! After reading Julie's post I knew it was high time for me to write a blog post in an attempt to soothe frantic Phoenix Real Estate Home Buyers. It's high time to see if I can't get some folks to see things a bit differently and act differently. In the long run it would be wise to consider the following advice....
I suggest that Phoenix home buyers calm down, take a deep breath and trust their agent.
Yes it is frustrating to lose out on bids - I get that. It is going to require more patience, not less in this hectic market. Go for a walk, get an ice cream.... do whatever it takes to get your mind off of the fast paced market. And stop blaming your agent and/or being nasty to other agents. What is the point? Really? Do you think you're going to get anywhere by being nasty? Naaaaaaa it just isn't so. Consider putting on your best "Sunday' attitude and think positively and act in a pleasant manner. Your Momma would be so proud of you - she really would. And quite frankly you'd be much happier. The old saying you'll get attract more bees with honey than vinegar - applies to the Phoenix Real Estate Market when buying a home.
