How often do you call and agent for a showing and not receive a response? It happened to me on twice this week on two different transactions by the same agent(s)! I had an appointment on Tuesday to take a client out to see rentals so I made all my calls Monday afternoon. I noticed an agent (I won't mention names but this husband/wife team is based in West Palm Beach) listed 3 potential units - I believe all 3 were vacant. I called for showing instructions and never heard back. A second call was made the next day and again, nothing. My client put an offer in on a different place and we have a verbal agreement on the contract to lease which we should ratify tomorrow.
Fast-forward to yesterday, I'm making calls for a different client looking to buy a home and one of the ones she requested to see is a bank-owned home not too far from me. I checked the listing and it's the same agent from before. I called..........voicemail box is full. It's happened to me before so perhaps she's very busy. I call the other number (to her husband) and get VM. Here I am over 24 hours later and not a peep. I took these clients out today and saw several homes, excluding the one listed by this couple. Are they really that busy that they're turning away potential business? I wish I had that problem.
Agents, do yourself a favor and return all agent calls. Otherwise you are very likely losing sales.
