Do YOU let Others Waste YOU Valuable Time?

Real Estate Agent with Coldwell Banker Sea Coast Advantage~ Ginger Harper Real Estate Team 93383

 

 

I just read a post from another Active Rainer regarding folks that just talk too much and waste your time when you are busier than a "one armed Paper Hanger".

 

WE have a few agents in our workplace that just like to talk and when you see them coming , you want to cringe because you have not compeleted the project that you are working on.

 

I have yet to find the right words to let them know that I am busy and do not have time to chit chat.

 

They will begin a story that goes on and on and there seems to be no ending.

 

Love these folks but talk with me after hours.  I do not need to know every detail nor learn about a friend that I do not know and will never meet. 

 

Need some advice here...

 

Thanks,

 

Ginger Harper of Southport NC

Ginger,

A very real problem. One partial solution is to ask them right up front, “is this something you should be discussing with the managing broker?”

Another is to let agents know what types of questions you will discuss such as pro’s or con’s of particular neighborhoods but other than that, you don’t discuss tech stuff, other people in the office, problems with sellers or buyers, social things, etc.

You set the boundaries.

 

Limiting what you will discuss and gently referring them back to the managing broker may free you from the time wasters.
