Excellent article from Luis Iniguez,Realtor,Keller Williams Realty.


this expresses one of my biggest pet peeves with other realtors.  I can't imagine what clients think.  No wonder they have a poor opinion of us.

Answer the DAMN Phone!  I apologize ahead of time if this doesn't flow with everyone.  Answer the DAMN Phone!

 

I am tired of agents so called "Realtors" who don't respond to emails or answer the phone.  I have had a good run with agents not returning emails or not returning calls.  What I hate the most is when I submit an offer and it dies.  The agent never responds or confirms receiving the offer.  I always make sure I write in my emails to respond via email or phone confirming they got the offer.  I believe it is only the right thing to do.  Whenever I get an offer, I always respond with a confirmation of receipt, no matter what time it is.  I want to make sure the agent is aware that his offer was received.  I don't leave anybody hanging. 

 

At least answer the DAMN phone when I call, or shoot me a text message back saying you received it.  I feel like putting a list together of these agents and putting them on blast.  Maybe put them on a email newsletter, giving them examples of basic good business, or send them something on business ethics.

 

This is a burning issue for me, I have clients asking me what there status is on offers and I don't have a response for them.  I almost want to create a website for agents people shouldn't work with or a rating system for these agents. 

 

By the way, I call these people agents, they probably don't have a clue on what  it takes to be a Realtor.

 

Please give me some input...

I feel your pain there is nothing more upseting  than not being responded or acknowledged. This does not look good to our customer's.

I definetly agree, this is the biggest problem we have as agents in the South Miami Area. Agents here are notorious for ignoring our calls.  Something nees to be done to penalize these agents since they are not serving the purpose when taking a lising. It is called being not being loyal to the people that hired us in the first place. Lack of ethics. Boards should have a way on cracking down on these agents!

Great reblog wow how sad that our industry is filled with so many who truly dont care and if that is the way they handle their affairs then I would also think they are the ones who are starving as that attention to detail on even a basic level will spill over into everything else and leads to NO business
