Ok, I don't like to rant, but was just really agitated by another broker in my area recently.
Side note pertaining to the following complaints: It's a huge pet peeve of mine when brokers do not provide detailed driving directions to listings. Therefore, MY listings are always accurate down to the spelling.
Said agent showed a listing of mine last week. She was 'driving up and down the main road looking for her next road', in turn, 'wasting $30 worth of gas' before she found it. Really? What do you drive? RV? Transfer truck?
Admittedly, this could be a difficult property to locate; all the more reason for my directions to be concise, clear, detailed, self-explanatory, and accompanied by directional signs (there's a big orange and blue 'FOR SALE' sign and brochure box you can't miss). All of those conditions are met, AND it shows up on online mapping services.
I get feedback today stating that my directions are bad and she wasted a lot of time with her buyers on a listing they don't like. I'd just like to add that this listing has had nearly 30- thirty- showings, and she was the first one to have any problem finding it whatsoever. She didn't like that. She said that many of the buyer's agents probably said they showed it but really did not because they couldn't find it. Really?
We all have to work together in this industry, people. Stay professional. It makes for less stress for all parties, including your clients.
