"We decided we didn't want to see the property"

By
Real Estate Agent with John L. Scott Sp34627

After business on Monday night we put up our sign on our new listing.  We have 1 business day to get it in the multiple listing service.   The house is 20 minutes from my partner, Bill Taylor's, home and 45 minutes from my home.   At 2 PM I had  phone call.  This lady wanted to see the property.  I scheduled the showing for 4 PM and warned her we weren't ready for prime time. 

 

My partner went out to show the home.  at 4:08 PM he texted still waiting.  I called the lady and told her my partner was at the home.  She decided not to see it and didn't bother to call.   I was annoyed.  I still am.   I know we are Realtors but we are people too.  I am sure my partner had something to do with his time.  If I had gone out it would have cost me at least 2 hours.  

 

Bill is a good natured guy and used his time to help our clients prepare the house for the market. 

 

Please if you are not going to keep an appointment call and cancel!

Debbie Holmes, I get so annoyed when this happens to me. Like you said we are people and contrary to popular opinion, we have lives outside of real estate.

Hi Debbie Holmes ,  I know what you mean.  Then 2 days later they call back and want to see another house.  Now what?

Good morning Debbie. This could be a lesson learned post. Stop jumping everytime a stranger calls. Sorry this happened.

The problem is that a sign call could be a whole new client.
