Sometimes You Gotta Bite Your Tongue in This Business
The all-too-elusive new listing pops up on the hotsheet - it looks like it might be a good match for one of my buyers. Yesterday, a phone call goes to voicemail - I hope it's the right person -- it's one of those generic messages. Later, a text message is sent -- who knows if it is received or if it is even the right person.
This morning...Okay, let’s try a third time...miraculously...an answer....
I would like to show your new listing at 123 Any Street today, is that possible? Please note: there are no showing instructions listed in the multiple listing service(MLS).
Aaaaah, weeeeeelll......
We need to discuss showing instructions with the tenant, we just put it on the market yesterday.
To myself: You know it’s easier to sell a home, if it can be shown. If there are tenants in the home for sale, it’s probably best to let them know there will be people traipsing through the home....
I should be talkin’ to the tenants later today....
To myself: no, you should have been talkin’ to the tenants before you put it into the MLS.
Send me an email and I’ll be lettin’ you know when you can shows it. There’s been sooooo many phone calls....
To myself: you know you can’t make this stuff up including the grammar.
To myself again(I do this a lot): how long will I be waiting for that email response?
