Have you noticed how short tempered and rude people have become? Not only have buyers and seller become so impatient with their high expectations but other agents as well do not extend common courtesies of saying please and thank you.
I have been in this business for 30+ years and have seen a huge change in this one area of business. It used to be when you spent time with someone on the phone or in person they really appreciated it and thanked you for your time. Now it seems that if you are not available at exactly the time the other person wants you to be available (which is usually right this minute) then they let you know that it isn't good enough and sometimes just plain hang up on you.
I say it is time to go back to using our manners, saying please and thank you and being considerate of others people's time and schedules. Gone are the times that I will drop everything to rush out and meet someone to show them a property when they won't even take a few minutes on the phone to tell me a little about themselves and their needs.
This is a service business but not a doormat business. Kindness needs to go both ways and it will smooth the way for more troublefree and pleasant real estate transactions. The agent is not responsible for everything that goes wrong just because she is receiving compensaiton. So ease up out there and give us a break and just treat us with some old fashion common courtesy.
You deserve it and so do we agents.
