Pet Peeve When Sarching for Real Estate...

Dear Paddy -
I think I'll write a post on this topic and link to yours. I am curious - How many AR community members did you contact via their blogs?
Have a happy day -

Maybe they did not understand what Sarching means, what does sarching mean????

Dear Paddy -

Knowing that - three of the listing agents were AR members - I can see that you must be really frustrated!

Have a happy day (again) -

Agents that are too busy to return calls or emails irritate the crap out of us.  All of us know that business is not that plentiful these days and every potential sale is worth its weight in gold.  These people who pretend to be so important are a real irritation in our business.  Just my opinion.

Paddy,

As much hassle as I have gettting listing agents, I can't imagine why you didn't go to a buyer's agent to start with? 

Buy something in Phoenix instead.....

Hello Paddy and VB gets so many emails that he just skims through and deletes most of them. There are so many people that are just looking to purchase but want to wait to pull the trigger. There are also many Brokers & Agents that continue to get used by people stating to be interested in purchasing Real Estate, working with several other agents and never purchasing.

VB ;o)

Any agent who doesn't respond to an inquiry on their listing at most within 24 hours (because they could be on vacation or tied up somehow) they don't deserve the listing.  Personally, I'd be back to you in 2 hours - max.

If you pay me an hourly wage that a CPA makes I will be happy to return your calls and emails :)

Paddy, not knowing you or any reputation you might or might not have, all I can add to this is that you asked "how happy would you beif your attorney or CPA did not return calls and emails?" Well, I pay my attorney and CPA, they'd better return my calls. We, on the other hand, don't get paid until we close on a deal. You're talking about Vegas being a "litter box." I'm guessing that the properties you have in mind are on the lower to quite-lower end? That doesn't make me any money. Therefore, I wouldn't hold my breath on a call back. Just my thinking.

Paddy -- sorry to hear that you had such bad experience.  That doesn't sound like the kind of people who would be too busy - as those would probably have assistants to do return calls/emails.  Safe journeys and have a fantastic Holiday with family.

I would have to know what your message said to give an opinion.  I don't answer messages when the details are sketchy.

Paddy, if only I'd known, I'd have a different comment to make. Something like, Hey, I'm moving to Vegas and getting my license there. Call me ANY TIME!

If an attorney called me about their clients, my first question would be "Do you have their power of attorney to conduct business in their behalf?" If not, then it wouldn't matter to me I don't think I'd want to be involved in a third-party anything.  But that's just me. If your clients wanted to purchase the properties why aren't you advising them to write it up??

I think your client would be best served by a dedicated buyer's agent. The listing agent's job is to get the best deal for his client -- not yours. Unless you're licensed in NV, you'll need an agent or attorney to write up an offer?
