What's the deal with all of the lazy realtors out there? A tax client of mine called me up yesterday excited that he found a house that fit his needs and had a couple of questions. A little while after I answered his questions, he called me back and said that the realtor wouldn't show him the house because it had an accepted offer the night before. Since when does an accepted offer take a property off the market? In today's day and age of deals falling through at record paces because of mortgage and credit issues, why would this lazy realtor not even show the house to the excited buyer (who happens to have plenty of cash for a down payment, a steady city job and great credit). At the very least, she would have a backup offer (or maybe a higher offer) and would have made a connection with a potential client for another property. Or if/when the "accepted offer" falls through because they never send the contract back or they get denied for a mortgage she would have a potential sale with the excited potential buyer.
