Since the last time I blogged a lot has happened, but I'm going to touch on one issue of mine recently.
High maintenance clients and agents. Now, I'm a strong personality, but recently I have worked with other agents who are strong personalities too. No harsh words have been spoken to one another, I'm professional, but come on people!! There is no need to call me 8-9 times a day for a piece of paper!! If I say I will get it to you, I will!! Although I have had a few crazy deals going on, more on another blog, don't be high maintenance. Don't demand phone calls from someone 6-10 times a day, because you don't trust someone. Allow your agent, or other agents the benefit of the doubt that they will handle their business.
As a client understand that you are not the agents only client, and there has to be acceptable time for the agent to return a call or email. Now, we know that there is a time stamp on all communications. We get that. However, if we are with another client there is no need to send more than one communication. Texting, emailing, and repeatedly calling does not get you what you want sooner. It just makes your agent, who is trying to help you, crabby! We take that crabby home, then my wife is crabby, my kids are crabby, and the dog is crabby!
Blah...
Keep it easy, know what you want, but understand your agent is working with more then one client at a time. Please note that when we are with you, then you get all of our attention, and the same would go for the other clients too. They deserve all of our attention when we are with them!
As for agents, come on guys!! We know how it is, we are not in the office very much, because if we are we don't have enough business. Therefore, don't ask for a document you know I don't have in front of me, and demand it in an hour. Rude! I had an agent ask if I would tell my buyer to change his financing because he didn't think the property would pass FHA financing.
What?
Come on guys, that is not your place to make a request like that! Don't be concerned about what the buyer can, or can't do, but make the deal and stick to it!! Don't go trying to make it out the way you want it to go because of your fears! Trust the process!
Alright, off my soapbox.
