My time is important to!
One
of my biggest pet peeves in Real Estate is how some people have
a complete lack of respect for other people’s time. If you come in or call and
ask for information on a property and I send/ give it to a client. Yay, they
want to go look at it with their (insert other party here) who can only go look
on a Thursday. Great let me set up that showing and we will go look. Wednesday
comes I call client and confirm appointment for showing, we are still a go!
Thursday morning, send a quick text confirming time and meeting place, yup we
are good. Appointment time rolls around and no client in sight.
First thought, traffic,
call and check to make sure client is OK.
No response. Wait for another hour still no client, another hour no call
nothing. That evening about 7 I get a text sorry didn’t want to go see it that
bad or better yet no communication at all. At least on the bright side I had
the time to get files in order, respond to some other emails, and enjoy a nice
lunch with my father at 4 pm.
I
understand that people are busy and sometimes things
come up. My time is precious to me. I appreciate the fact you informed me later
that night that you decided not to view the property, but a little earlier
would have been nice to. I was raised that if I was going to be 5 minutes late
you call and inform the other party. Respecting other people’s time is
important or I think it is. Being stood up for a showing is becoming a common
place it seems and it really irks me. I do not have a set schedule for most of
the days of the week, however I do like to go to church and spend time with my family!
