It's A Small World

I am busy today trying to finish up some client work and getting through some loans for some personal business, but I thought I would share some insights on buyers. I had a client call me to see a property in a local town listed by a different office of the same franchise (EXIT REALTY) as my brokerage. She said that she had called the listing agent 10 times and had no timely responses at all. So I took her out to see the property and she made an offer on the house. We are currently waiting for bank approval,it is a forclosure. I have a new client and will possibly have made a commision check because of another lazy agent. Return those calls realtors!

When she called me I said sure I can show you the house, we set an appoinment to meet at my office, we sat and spoke for a few minutes, we signed a buyer agreement andspoke to a mortgage broker. I also told her to bring her checkbook to the meeting. If no traing or hints get through to ay new agents it is this...when working with a buyer tell them to bring their checkbook when going out to look at houses. If they say no they are not ready to make an offer yet then DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME. We do not work at DIsney World and this is not a small world, gas is too expensive to be an unpaid tour guide.
