STILL WAITING???

CSS?  Is that local to NY or is it spreading nationwide?

Waiting days for an appointment sound like lack of motivation to me. My way of doing it is this ... I don't ask if it's OK, or what's good for them. I tell them when I will be there. I put the listings in specific order and right down the times I have given so I can keep track. If the house is not available for showing when my appointment is scheduled with the buyer too bad for the seller because my goal is to sell a house to my clients that day and I will everything I can do that. There are plenty of available homes to choose from these days. We all know it doesn't always work out that way and the buyer may want to see that house really bad and will come back another day anyway. But, I will remember that in the future and do what I can to avoid the hassle.

We have CSS in our area and our company (F.C. Tucker,OBR REALTORS) does not use it. There are many firms in our area that do but we chose not to use them becuase they only know how to answer or record showings if it is "scripted". We felt we would actually miss showings becuase of that. However if you are not available to take multiple calls, it is a great way to have an answering service.

There currently is a "take survey" link on the CSS frnot page. You can leave your comments there. After I left a comment I also received a voice mail from CSS thanking me for filling out the survey.

I been using CSS on Staten Island and I think its a great service

Yes, I guess you are right. my experience has been both good and so so. what I do is that I check the system, this way I am able to see what the status is.
