Gary, I can't tell you how many times I'm amazed at the lack of urgency many agents place on their phonecalls. I've actually called to set up showings on a listing and had a call back 2 days later! Now, the obvious questions is, does this seller know that their agent doesn't seem to care if he sells their house or not? You're right, the problem is, it reflects pourly on all of us. I honestly think part of the reason for this is just simply a lack of dedication. I am personally tied to real estate as if it were one of my required organs. I love this business! Therefore, I approach every aspect of it with enthusiasm. However, I know many agents out there simply see this as a job. I can picture those agents looking at their phone when it rings and hitting "ignore." I'm sure they think, while they're watching tv, "I'll call them back later, I'm too busy right now." And yet, many of these same agents still question why their business is struggling. Ridiculous!
OK, I'm off my soapbox now, ha! Thanks for a great post!
