Honor your commitments or Y-O-U might be S.O.L.!

Honor your commitments or Y-O-U might be S.O.L.!

 

Not only do clients look to us to help guide them to a successful end result, we also depend on affiliates to do their part. An appraisal was scheduled and confirmed. I received a call 2 hours before the appointment saying the appraiser was unable to show.

 

She asked if they could reschedule for a later time due to some snags in the schedule. At this point, I found out that another appointment was put in front this one and told her this was unacceptable.  

 

The home is rented and the tenants require a 24 hour notice for any showings, etc., the owner lives quite a distance from the home and this would put them much too close to deadlines.

 

I told her that I would call the lender and have their service contact another appraisal company, that this was poor business practice. Less than 5 minutes later, I was notified they were able to keep the appointment.

 

Honor your commitments, there are people counting on Y-O-U or you could be S.O.L.!

Well said.....did you have them do the appraisal or go with someone else?  I think I'd have gone with someone else.  Bad business practice on their part.

Hi Wanda Kubat-Nerdin Hopefully your appraisal comes in at value or higher. 

The appraisers here in central Nebraska are really good at staying on schedule but are so darn busy and the state law passed a few years ago makes it very hard to get new ones into the industry.

Thanks Roger D. Mucci, due to time constraints, we went with them. Otherwise it would have been another 5 to 7 days to get it done. If it was up to me, we would have chosen another one!

Mike McCann - Nebraska Land Broker It has become more difficult to meet the criteria to become an appraiser. Thanks for stopping by today!

Wanda...this is so true. I am in a situation right now and I am working with someone who does not honor any promises or commitments.

Jeffrey DiMuria 321.223.6253 www.SpaceCoastHomesNow.com It becomes very frustrating when trying to move a transaction along. Granted, there will be challenges that occur but undependability should not be one of them! I wish you the best in going forward.

There are times when a company has a legitimate reason why they couldn't honor an appointment or commitment but usually when they call and try to reschedule it's due to a preventable mishap on their part.

Nicole Doty - Gilbert Real Estate Expert I do agree that things happen outside our scope of control and rescheduling is a must but this was not one of them.

I wish all lenders would contact the AMC when things go wrong, but I find most won't.

Isn't it amazing how a loss of revenue will allow people to re-asses their schedules.

Hi Wanda -- amazing the appraiser was miraculously able to make an appointment that was going to be canceled/postponed.   I guess that call, the loss of that job and perhaps a reputation as one who can't honor a commitment caused someone to have a change of plans.

Ron and Alexandra Seigel An important aspect of business that will get you more business or cut you short by being Seriously Over-Looked!

William Feela That is what I figured as well! Not going to happen here, my clients depend on keeping a business sense.

Tammy Lankford You are most likely right about that. We all have an obligation to do our jobs and I can't stand it when people cut in line at the grocery store! This was very similar!

Ed Silva The quick return phone call was very interesting to say the least! Glad they were able to fit my clients in by prioritizing their schedules correctly.
