Did you let your Seller know at the listing appointment that you have given up or was that just a secret for your fellow Realtors? Or how about your Buyers? When I call you up because one of my listings fits your buyers profie and  you can barely remember you had a buyer and say you should probably call them should you really be doing this job anymore.

I'm just just curious, did it occur to you that your clients DESERVE better? Did you really think you weren't accountable to anyone, had no boss? Guess what, you do it's called your CLIENT.

I am already used to having to do most of the work in a transaction but do I really have to get you to even contact your clients? This post is written to unfortunately no agent in particular as there are too many to be named. Wake Up!!! Some of us are professionals that are already working 2 or 3 times as hard just to make deals happen, we don't need apathy. I know it's hard but if you are going to give up, have the courtesy to let your clients know, they are counting on you.

Good post Christina. I know I am guilty of forgeting about a client once in awhile when they seem to be only luke warm and a "Hot One" walks in. Some times it ends up the Luke warm lead buys before that "Hot One" and with a more attentive agent.

I'm with you, sista!! I don't get the complaining about not having business...but NOT ACTUALLY doing your job when you have a client. When someone figures this out...please explain it to me. GBU!

I've let a few slip through the cracks this way. I just had an almost client that I pursued for months, sent him to get financing, showed him the way but couldn't get him to pull the trigger. After a while (3 months or so of hauling and hoping) I didn't think he was serious so I kinda just sat back and waited. Then I didn't hear from him for 2 months so I decided to contact him. Sure enough his wife answered the phone and said they had just bought a home. I wanted to throw the phone out of the window, but instead I told her to tell him hello and wished them the best of luck in the future. i managed to keep my lunch from souring in my stomach and fumed as I went back to work.
