One of the most important tools of a Realtor can be their IPhone 11. However phones and Real Estate do not always mix. How can that be you may be asking? Well, let me tell you a story.
I recently listed a great Manchester NH area home. I had 9 showings scheduled the first 2 days. The home was put under contract quickly. My seller was very happy.
Then the problem started. It was not with my seller. It was not with the home. As I was attending the home inspection, the buyer agent accompanied their buyer. However the agent did not raise her eyes from the phone for at least the first hour. She seemingly ignored her buyers questions. But the inspector answered the first 2 and I answered the last 2.
We finished up the inspection. The home was in great condition and the inspector did not have any concerns. The buyer signed the paper work and gave the inspector a check. As we were ready to leave, the buyer agent looked up from her phone and demanded a full accounting of everything she had a concern with. The buyer looked at the agent and looked to the inspector. The inspector looked at the buyer agent and then at the buyer, They all turned and looked at me. The buyer agent demanded no one leave until she gets an update. We the 4 people in the room who paid attention, were now held hostage by the one person on her phone that didnt seem to care the last hour.
The buyer turns to the agent and let her have it per say. They are young. This is their first home and she did nothing to help them they said. They fired her on the spot. Later the managing broker of this mega office called me to find out what happened. They would appoint another agent to help them. Late in the week the buyer called to voice their frustration over that too.
THE BOTTOM LINE is the buyer through their choice of mega agents was let down. Not once but twice. They will close as I was paying attention and again, makes my seller happy.
The MOST IMPORTANT message I can share is that all agents are not created equal. The choice of an agent does matter. Hire the agent that will work for you through each step of the buying or selling process.
I now share with every consumer that my philosophy is simple, provide more personal and professional service to guide my clients through each step of the buying or selling process. All Agents are not created equal and every buyer or seller should take the time to hire the BEST not just the biggest. Those that hire me, find a dedication like no other.
