NEXT....FSBO's usually are FSBO's because they dont like REALTORS. Until they figure out they need one.

FSBOS are FSBOS because they DO think they know it all... Most of them DON'T succeed selling, and will eventually call a Realtor anyway.  Don't waste your time with people like that... He's got a negative attitude because he's not selling.

sorry you had to deal with someone like that in this business we meet all kinds...right??

This guys just got a bug up his you-know-what because he's not getting any bites on his overpriced and poorly marketed property, so why not take it out on you - the Realtor. After all, it's YOUR fault his house isn't selling. Don't take it personally, some people are just plain difficult to deal with.

Who knows, his wife may have had him so busy scrubbing toilets that he hadn't a clue the lid had been blown off the World Congress Center.  I recently had a buyer cancel on me because it might rain.  Remember the snow we had a few weeks ago?  I showed houses in that.  Me and one other agent in Atlanta.  But the true point here is that this seller was expecting you and you did not show.  How would you feel if the shoe was on the other foot?  

Angela, as you correctly stated, your responsibility is to your client, not to the seller.   If your clients were happy with your decision, move on.  Whether he knows it or not, the seller needs you, more than you need him. 

Since you are new to AR, I don't know whether you know this or not, but you can make posts 'Members Only'.  This is a good idea when you want to rant about customers, clients, etc. 

Am I missing something, did you take the time to inform the seller because of the weather you weren't coming??
