Today, I had a very busy day scheduled; 24 homes in all. I know, who sees 24 homes in one day? No one in their right mind. But who said I was in my right mind?
Okay back to the story. Anyhow after looking at nine homes and driving through four other neighborhoods where homes got axed before even seeing (new construction), we decided to stop for lunch and re-group.
During that time, these out-of-towners, only in for the day, decided to focus their attention on one neighborhood visited earlier in the day. They decided they needed to see every home available priced up to $575K. That meant an additional ten homes.
While the buyers ate lunch, I started making calls to schedule appointments. I was successfully able to schedule five but the other five required appointments be made through the listing agents. Do you see where this is going?
I left messages for these agents. I explained that I had out-of-town buyers who were buying today. Only one of the five agents even bothered to call me back. What were these agents thinking? It's a Saturday people. Buyers are out looking at homes. If you're not going to use a showing center, then answer the dang phone!
I suspect I'll get a call from these agents in the next day or two. Too late. A decision has been made and it didn't include your seller's home because you didn't answer your phone. I wonder what the sellers would think if they knew that their home wasn't shown?
If you're not going to use a showing center, answer the dang phone!
Are we pursuing a career or a hobbie?!
