Went to show a home .... Buyer failed to show.....

Real Estate Agent with John L. Scott Sp34627

Today I got a floor call.  This doesn't happen very often.  The lady wasn't working with a Realtor and wanted to see the home that was listed by a colleague.  They wanted to see it at 7:30 PM.  I had a meeting to go to but I left early to drive to Nampa.  I got there just in time!  I turned on all the lights and waited 1/2 hour.  I called her but her answering machine picked up.  I then drove the 1/2 hour ride home. 

It has happened before.  I try not to get to upset but the truth is that I changed my plans to show the home.  I drove 30 minutes each way to get to the home.  I waited for 1/2 hour there.  I spent 1 hour gathering information.   Tomorrow is another day... Maybe she will call me and tell me that she thought it was another time.... In our business it happens occasionally.  I wish people would realize we are real people with real lives and be polite and either show up or call.   My gripe for the day.

Don't you hate it?  You hope they have a valid excuse... but in this day of cell phones and text messages, she probably just wasted your time.   How rude.

Good morning Debbie. I am sorry to hear your tale of woe. It is the part of the business that most clients don't know or care about. It stinks and I'm sorry. Give yourself a treat today or do something special.

Today I called the lady.  Turns out they had to rush her dad to the hospital and they forgot the phone.   She also did not have my number since it was a floor call.  We will meet tomorrow and I have sent her to the loan officer.
