Things That Bother Me About Some Agents and Why
I have two pet peeves about agents . One is when you write a contract in good faith for an agent . You send it along with all the proper documentation .
You sweat it out dot your I's and cross your T's . Sometimes you even miss your Grandsons Birthday party because the other agent tells you there is another offer coming in . All offers are going to be presented tonight so you cannot wait .
Your buyers make a great offer . This was not a new listing it was on the market for quite a while and needed work. also known as TLC
The next day you are waiting patiently to hear from the agent . They do not have their cell phone number in the MLS but you call someone you know in the office and get it . You ask what is going on and has you offer been considered . The agent replies I left you a message best and final offer . When and where did you send me a message as I never received any message from you ? Oh I think it was a text he replied . I never received any message from the agent .
I contacted the buyer . The final and best offer was a great offer well above asking price . I quickly sent the offer to the listing agent . I followed it up with an email , text message and phone call . He said he would have an answer by the evening . I never heard back from him that night . I knew the answer I had that sinking feeling in my belly . Finally after several phone calls he said they took the other offer . Why not call or text me with an answer . Instead I had to hunt him down . Very unprofessional in my humble opinion
The other thing the annoys me is when agents do not report the correct status . They report a property as Active with contingencies instead of pending or under contract . When I call they say well we are waiting for a mortgage approval . Don't most agreement of sales have mortgage contingency . I think some agents are misusing these features . How are we going to use these sales as comparables if we do not know if they are pending .
These are the things that bother me about some agents and why .
