What some agents do that frustrates me

Reblogger Beverly Couch-Burnham, Realtor®,
Real Estate Agent with The Burnham Realty Group NAR #SL3299848

I am bit amazed, although I don't know why, that this is a problem across the country.  Any ideas on how we can call the offenders on their behavior and perhaps shame them in to better conduct or out of the profession?

1. THEY DO NOT ANSWER THE PHONE OR RETURN CALLS

2. They call to show a property in 20 minutes and the home is located over 30 minutes from my office.

3. The submit incomplete and poorly written offers

4. They say - The MLS says 3 bedrooms, but I think it may be 4 and wanted to check

5. They send over offers at over 50% off list price without warning

6. They do not show up for showing appointments and do not call

7. They show up for a showing and tell the client they had talked to me when they did not

8. They say home repairs are complete when they are not

9. They act  and speak rudely

I would agree these happen all the time and are very frustrating.  I am sure there are many more to add to the list.  I just try to be sure I am not one of them.

Add thise one: They represent thmselves as professional, and they are not!  Kind of sums it up.

Also, they are jealous of the top producers in their market wondering why they get so much business. More often than not, those Realtors became Top Producers by performing the tasks listed in #1-10 correctly and extremely well. I continue to hope their own conduct and the market will adjust the situation - however, many are still there.

Yes, they do these things and more! Some out of ignorance, some out of rudeness, some out of poor upbringing!

Morning Beverly-number 8 will cost them their license here, the rest is not good but again we are humans and that is the sad thing (no respect) for fellow agents

I agree, I have had the same problem with agents in my area.
