Since my business is real estate referrals matching the right agent to the prospective buyer or seller is very important. So when I place a referral I'm very anxious to hear back from my clients as to how it is going.
This weekend I got a frantic call from a client. Seems the agent they had been referred to and had spent a few hours with viewing houses had suddenly disappeared. They had found another house they wanted to see and all they got when they called the agent was a message that their VM was full.
So here is a buyer ready to make a move and the agent hasn't cleared out their voice mail in what would have to be days. So instead of the agent selling a house in the 400K price with a nice commission there are getting nothing. We quickly found the buyer another agent who ran out to meet them and wrote a contract on a property they liked. One agent's loss is another agent's gain.
By the way I've tried for three days to get through to the agent and still a full VM. I sent an email and it was read so know they aren't laid up in the hospital somewhere. Gotta wonder why!
