Special offer

To ALL agents that do NOT return calls,

By
Real Estate Agent with Real Estate Solutions 2002018857

To ALL agents that do NOT return calls,

Do you understand that our client's (either the buyers or sellers) are asking questions about your client's property or buying intentions.  And when you do not respond- our clients remember. 

  • Yes- they DO remember your name.
  • Yes- they DO tell their friends- all of them- this is the biggest transaction in most peoples lives.  They will talk about it over coffee, at the bus stop, at book club, in line at the grocery store and to anyone else that will listen.  And guess what they do not forget- YOUR name!
  • Yes- you DO cause them anxiety- and yes they remember- that is why they tell everyone!
  • Yes- YOU could lower tensions- which in turn- does help YOUR client!

Do you know who else notices?

  • Title Company closers and processors.
  • Lender/ Bankers who are working with buyers.
  • Inspectors
  • Municipal inspectors

Maybe I should say thank you for the business- because you are destroying your reputation and improving mine- and I don't even have to try!

All I know is that I answer and return my calls!  So to all of YOUR clients- please call me if you want the attention you deserve! 

Sincerely,

Shanna Hall

Belinda Spillman I think they spend a lot of money on advertising rather than their reputation!

Debbie Gartner I know that when I receive bad service I let it be known- I bet the non answering or returning call agents do too- surprised they don't see that it applies to them too...

Hello Shanna,  Yes indeed it is frustrating waiting on an answer or response when our clients are waiting on us.  The irony is that the ones who do not return calls are usually the quickest in demanding quick responses from us.  Shanna you make it a great rest of the week.  Mark

I know this post is from February, but in my frustration I came across this and you could not have stated my feelings better.  How can any real estate professional in this business not return calls?  Yes, clients should know when they have hired an agent who feels it not important to adhere to basics in business.  Return calls, text a return and if you are away for a period of time please indicate that on your voice mail or email.  It amazes me that this happens and more often than I want to think about.  Venting....
