I was showing houses so much they were running into each other. I was going all over the valley with my clients. They wanted to see everything in every community. I was also handling another client. By Wed I was exhausted. I had worked the whole weekend.
They asked a question before 7 AM in the morning via email. Like an idiot I answered their question before my morning cup of coffee. I forgot to mention the word earnest money. I emailed them back about 10 minuets later. They sent an email back that indicated they were annoyed.
I tried to make contact with them until Sunday. They had finally responded thanking me for all my hard work but they wouldn't be needing me. I wrote the loan officer about the incident. Turns out another agent (new construction) handled my client and sent a contract in.
They had told me they were not interested in new construction. It took a wrong email and 10 minutes to totally alienate these clients i had worked so hard for. I am a sad and trying to recover from the week. I also will try to learn from my mistakes.
I often allow myself to be run ragged. I should have taken better care of myself. I would have made the sale this weekend. I also wouldn't be tired now. If I hadn't been tired I might not have been so dissapointed when I thought I lost them. Of course today I found out I did.
Note to self. Take time to take care of me and don't respond to emails before coffee. Thruth to tell I am a really great agent and I had given them my all.
