I've scheduled an Open House in Mount Rainier, MD this weekend. This afternoon, I get a email that says: "I just wanted to let you know that I'm sending my client (and name) to your open house tomorrow. Please respect our relationship." I responded, sure, thank you. I didn't know the agent but even though the Washington DC market is big, it's not so big after all. He acknowledges and thanks me, and then goes on to say that he lost a buyer like this a few months ago when the listing agent snagged his buyer (59 comments)
