Yep I know I sure do and it happened to me just the other day. I tell you the first two years in this business have been a learning experience. Most of it has been good some has been fair and a small percentage has been downright nasty. I was at a store where I bought a phone with the (IF) feature and was learning more about it when of course the phone rang. "Hi I'm ---- and I would like to look at 123 Main (you know the routine) when can you show it to us? Well how does 01:00 PM sound?
"Well is there anyone at your office that can unlock the door cause we're in the driveway now?"
Well there went my plans and away I went towards the property, I might add it was raining and traffic was at a crawl. Anyway I'm in another county when I'm 3 minutes out they call again except this time it's the man and he asks "This is --- are you coming out here today?" For those of you who know me and my temper this is not a wise thing or tone of voice to use on this old man and it's all I can do to muster the most pleasant tone to tell this now person I'll be there in now 2 minutes.
When I arrive it's obvious to me these people are investors and they walk in look over the property in 5 minutes during the walkthrough (bank owned) property I learn the seller has called them about the property so now my mind is in high gear.
My goal is of course to sell the property it's in such bad shape when I took the listing I thought okay this one will be on the market for awhile. It did not last 7 days go to show you what I know. What really made my blood boil is that after showing the property to these people they go to another agent and have them write the offer. To top it off the other agent asks for a higher percentage commission*&&^%^%%^&^&%%#$# and other cuss words...
My downfall is that I did not ask them up front if they were working with another agent. In the long run even if they were my goal was to sell the property and that's what's happened.
The learning curve is coming strong and I know there is more to come until the next curve is thrown at me remember "It's a great day to buy or sell a home."
