Can you squeeze it back into your schedule?

Can you squeeze it back into your schedule?

 

After setting up and confirming several appointments to view homes, my clients and I approached the front door of one on the list.

 

Though I searched every place that I could think of in an attempt to find the lock box, it simply was not there. 

 

My clients decided they would take a pass and we moved on. I received a text message an hour later asking if I'd seen the home...

 

I answered back that we couldn't get in and then thought...Wow, there's a clear lack of follow through on that agent's part.

 

Believe me, I do understand that things happen and may prevent us to be our best and do our best. This home, however, was on the market already for 4 days prior to setting the appointment. Sheesh!

Haha ... squeeze this back into your schedule.  Dr. Mr. and/or Mrs. Home Seller - are you aware that the agent you hired is impeding the sale of your home?

I would have preferred he tell me it wasn't ready to view rather than letting my clients down after we showed up Kathleen Daniels

Wanda, Real estate 101, buyers have to be able to get in to buy it.  Wow.....

Perhaps making a list and checking it twice was in order Liz and Bill Spear!

I will typically wait for the first appointment before setting up the box, but it is there 24 hours before that agent ever shows up.

Ed Silva, I would have gladly picked a key up from the agent as well if he was unable to get to the house with the key box.

FEATURED IN CRAP-TACULAR

 

CRAPPY - Total disrespect for his client, for you, and your clients.  That is just CRAPPY.

Well stated Kathleen Daniels and can agree! Thank you for the feature in CRAP-TACULAR, it is so fitting.

Whoops!  Sometimes people focus so much on the little details that they forget about the big ones....like, in order for someone to see a home, they need to be able to open the door!

John Meussner, Though it didn't reflect poorly on my part, it sure was embarassing. *Sigh*

Wanda-That was a major oversight on their part and it could have cost them a sale.

Yes, it can be costly when systems are lacking Sharon Lee. Thank you for stopping by today!

Wow that is crazy. I wonder if she had the sellers stage or do anything to get ready? That sure was lacking in client service.

Hi Martha Brown, Good to see you! Not sure, we never did see the interior, just the front yard and the rest of the neighborhood.

we have "that" agent in our market.  Never freaking fails that her instructions in the MLS are wrong.  I've opened the lockbox and found no key.  I've found no lockbox. I've been given the wrong code.  I wonder if her sellers know.

We moved on quickly as time needed to be spent wisely that day. They had to leave the next day William Feela!

As soon as it hits the MLS I run over with lockbox, sign and extra key to make sure all keys work!

As it should be done Rob D. Shepherd, immediately! Otherwise a great time waster for potential buyers and agents.

Good morning Wanda.  I'll also bet they are wondering why they haven't got an offer or feedback on the place.  Sigh

Quite likely so James Dray. Hope you enjoy the day!
