Call Us If Anything Comes Up ...

Real Estate Agent with Downing-Frye Realty, Bonita Springs, FL 676419

Bonita Springs Real Estate DealFor about 15 years I’ve sold real estate in Bonita Springs Florida.  I’ve seen a lot of buyers and sellers come and go and there is one solid way to separate real estate buyers from time gobbling, tire kickers, the dreaded “Call us if anything comes up …”.  There isn’t a real estate agent in town who hasn’t heard that from a real estate buyer getting out of their car and knowing they’d never see or hear from that person again.

Chris, don't you just love the ones that say, "call me if you find any good deals on some foreclosures."

Really, do they think all we do is bargain hunting for random people who aren't even committed?

I've only sold a couple of things the buyers haven't seen.  I don't know that I agree when they say that... that I won't be seeing them again.

Chris, sometimes it is hard to tell if people are just out to "kick tires" but we all deal with them from time to time.

No time to waste on anyone who isn't committed to the process.  They just remain on the drip until they drop.

How about when you find the perfect house for a buyer that you've been working with a long time and they say...Call me if anything ELSE comes up???

I place them on a 90 day listing alert.  If I don't hear anything from them they are gone.  Don't have time to keep on with someone who is really just out kicking the tires.

We have all wasted time with these folks.  Wonder if they drive from state to state just playing these reindeer games with Realtors.....

Chris, I like the comments that say put them on a drip campaign. It doesn't cost anything and it might produce results. You never know. After all, they do have an interest in real estrate or you wouldn't have run into them in the first place.

I took the extra moments to 'like' the comments on your blog to offer some support and a few points for those bloggers. I hope that other bloggers will also ‘like’ the comments as they visit blogs.

Chris this is a statement we can all relate to.  Some new agents will try hard to fulfill this request.

Of course, they do. 'Call me if you find a deal!' Everyone wants THE deal. Funny thing, if you do know about a good deal, they not necessary ready to jump in.
