One thing that bugs me more than just about anything else in the real estate profession is a LAZY REALTOR! You might wonder what I mean by that. Well, I have plenty of examples and reasons why LAZY REALTORS get on my nerves so badly. For starters, they make the real estate profession look very unprofessional. As realtors, we are assisting clients with their largest financial investments. Our fellow realtors are counting on our professional cooperation. Loan officers, appraisers, inspectors, title companies, buyers, sellers and so many others are depending on professional real estate services.
Does it ever bother you when LAZY REALTORS don't bother to list which bedrooms are located upstairs and which ones are downstairs, ESPECIALLY on homes in higher price ranges! You know, that can be important to a buyer with kids, parents, grandparents, special needs, handicapped,etc.
What about when LAZY REALTORS wait a week or longer to even take photos of a property that is already on the market, in multiple listing and all over the internet?
How about the LAZY REALTORS who have an accurate square footage amount on one of their listings from an appraisal/measurement and they end up sticking in an inaccurate number from the tax office? Later on during negotiations, they decide to disclose the real square footage. Go figure.
Have you ever seen a LAZY REALTOR who will not put a Sellers Disclosure in their home's listing or upload one to the realtor mls so that a buyer's agent and prospective buyer can review it?
How about the LAZY LISTING AGENT who refuses to give his/her seller showing feedback and won't even return the sellers phone calls? You know what happens next, don't you? The seller finally gets aggravated and calls the buyer's agent, who represents the buyer and NOT the seller.
What about the LAZY REALTORS who refuse to go take their sign and lockbox down after their listing agreement has expired or the house has sold?
Have you ever known a LAZY REALTOR who was too busy to call another REALTOR back who was trying to present a contract? Maybe they were stalling,waiting for other offers to come in, playing golf,etc.
Some LAZY REALTORS never took Spelling as a subject in school, and apparently don't have time to use spell check either. Some of the funniest things I have ever read in my life have been in the marketing comments done by LAZY REALTORS!
IN CLOSING, IF YOU ARE A CLIENT, DO YOUR HOMEWORK AND AVOID LAZY REALTORS AT ALL COST AND PLEASE REALIZE THAT ALL REALTORS ARE NOT LAZY!!
IF YOU ARE A REALTOR THAT HAS MET LAZY REALTORS, PLEASE RESPOND TO THIS POST WITH YOUR OWN EXPERIENCES WITH LAZY REALTORS!!!
