"I'm surprised you answered your phone!"

By
Real Estate Agent with Remax First Realty II 0790808

Jean and I were chatting on the phone the other day while I was driving home. "Gotta go," I told her when I heard my phone click. "I've got another call."

When I answered the other call, the person on the line introduced herself as a real estate agent and said, "I'm surprised you answered your phone!"

What else would I do? Why on earth wouldn't I answer my phone? Sure, I was on the other line with my beautiful wife, but don't other agents answer there phones? Is having an agent answer the phone an unusual experience?

Other than when we're with clients, there are few occassions when we don't answer our phones. One we can think of....

Another possibility....

But mostly, I answer my phone. Even while at the beautiful Cape May Winery.

Wayne and Jean Marie Zuhl ~ very cute, Wayne and Jean Marie. I also think it's weird when people are surprised that we pick up phones!

Hi Jean Marie and Wayne -- I too get that response -- I'm surprised you answered your phone --- kinda sad but I guess that separates those of us who really want to do business and be responsive.

Wayne and Jean Marie Zuhl I do answer my phone, even though sometimes I know its a caller that wants to sell me something. I had 3 incoming calls from New Zealand today. I don't know anyone from there...

Wayne and Jean - It's pretty rare that when I call another agent they actually answer. Even worse is only about 50% of the time will they even return the message I left them.

This happens to me all the time. I always get sorry to call you on the weekend? I work realtor hours don't be sorry. I dont mean to call you late. Its ok I understand where you are. Thank you for answering your phone. Why wouldn't I? I think its basic, but you'd be suprised how many people don't do it!
