I sent you a showing request yesterday @#*%

By
Real Estate Agent with Jameson Sotheby's International Realty

One of my newer agents got a phone call, today, from an irate agent.

"I sent you a showing request yesterday... and you haven't responded"

"I'm sorry", she replied "I never got your request."

"I should report you to your seller!" the narsty agent yelled!

"Well.... you're talking to the seller", the agent replied.  It's her own property.

I love it when that happens.

Good one, Alan. One reason I like ShowingTime... fewer issues with "I asked for a showing and no one responded."

Rudeness has not business in our business.  Always give someone the benefit of the doubt before you start to question their integrity.

If we didn't allow rudeness, we'd have to get rid of 30% of the Realtors outthere.

Curious...did you allow her the showing. She sounds like a real dream to work with.

It wasn't my listing, Margaret.  It was my newbie's.  I don't think she did... the narsty agent hung up on her.

Good evening Alan May ,

Wow! Your newer agent is getting her feet wet with dealing with issues in our industry:(!

She handled herself pretty well.

Morning Alan.

What a great one-liner.  Now, my question is will she turn him over for threatening to go over the line talking to the seller, without the consent of the listing agent?

not sure that the threat of tortious interference is the same as actual tortious interference.

Good morning Alan. This is wonderful. I guess that agent won't be showing that home now.

I guess not.

Love it, people should learn to treat everyone as they want to be treated before they make a judgement.

Unfortunately, Nick & Trudy, apparently some people want to be treated like @#!%.
