Yes I Still Make My Own Appointments!

Yes I Still Make My Own Appointments!
One reason....  It is my way of servicing my clients and staying in touch.

Had an agent email me at 1:00 AM wanting to show one of my listings at 10AM, this same day!

When I checked the email...it was still  too early to call the seller. Before 8:00 am the agent calls, asking for the 10:00 AM showing.

I was able to reach the seller but could not arrange the showing until 12noon. That was not acceptable to this agent. "I have lot of  showings."

Out of curiosity, I asked how many. To my surprise...she said, " twenty". So today she will only show 19!

If this property was on central showings, neither the email or the phone would have been answered.

We have to be flexible..there are real people living in the homes I represent.
Some agents feel that properties need to be on a   Lockbox...and available 24/7.  We are NOT talking about vacant homes!

If an agent is showing 19 homes and has a very narrow window and doesn't  make her needs known until the last minute...yes the house may not be shown.
Common sense prevails....but common sense is not so common.
