Don't Forget that Real Estate agents are Real People

Posted Jun 12, 2008 @ 8:33 am, Viewed by 548 Visitors, Read 560 Times.

I haven't had any of these happen to me lately but I have had my fair share and have heard around the office of other agents suffering from Rude Clients, Clients that expect agents to take them on a Taxi Ride around town just so they can write off their trip for taxes, babysit, you get the picture.  I think with the Tampa Real Estate Market the way it is being a buyers market, some buyers seem to feel that they can make everyone run around like mice in a cage and we Realtors will just do it.  Guess what, that will only last so long with un-seasoned agents, and won't fly at all with seasoned agents.

Like I said, I have had my share, and I give everyone that I deal with (since I am no longer a buyers agent it doesn't matter but every now and then I will take on a client) the 15/15 rule.  I wait 15 minutes past due time, I then call you, if you don't answer, I give you an additional 15 minutes to be safe, then I am GONE.  My time is money too and I don't have anytime to waste on clients that don't care enough to be on time or at least call.  If you call, no problem, then I can at least decide at that point what is best for both of us.

So please be courteous, after all, Realtors are People too!

Yes! I work in real estate technology but have read and heard plenty of stories where just such things happen. It is frustrating when clients treat agents more like chauffeurs or tour guides than helpful experts. I am glad you have not had to deal with this type of think lately, Robert!
