19 Degrees... Mostly Cloudy... I Hope It Doesn't Rain...
I need to show a condo and the LBs have not responded. Is it the holidays? I don't know, but my customer travels a lot and she wants to see it today. During the Winter our weekend hours are abbreviated so I may not be going into the office at all. I do that a lot: not go into the office (LOL). Remote access is a beautiful thing. I spend most of my time working from my outside offices. Being mobile is something that I cherish.
The wind is howling, the boys are snoring and I am sitting on the floor in my living room with my laptop wondering what I am going to be showing my customer today or if I have nothing to show... My voice mail is still full. As fast as I answer people call and fill that puppy back up. What is up with that??? I thought Winter was supposed to be traditionally slow... I keep reading that yet I keep getting calls...
Is it the my broker is on holiday vacation so I am bothering you until he/she/they get back syndrome? I am starting to think so because they always balk at coming into the office but keep demanding an awful lot of info be sent by e-mail. My new line is asking what did your broker say? That always results in an interesting conversation (LOL). I have one chick bugging me for pictures of a very expensive listing who will not come into the office, but thinks she is entitled to send me and the LB out to make her picture request happen although (a) I have no pre-qualification info, (b) I have no idea who she is and (c) what she wants with the pictures. If I am not representing a person why would that person believe I would go freeze my bahookies off on a fools errand? Is it my blog? I frequently jog and blog, collecting eye candy, so maybe they think it is okay to waste my valuable time (LOL).
If the LB will not provide additional pictures of their own listing, why bug a buyer's broker who doesn't rep you to do so? Why not just get representation and go look at the property? I pre-screen properties for my customers and clients because I work for them. They have hired me. It is too early in the morning for me to get sarcastic so I am going to stop talking now. I need my tea. I have websites to destroy and re-build (LOL).
Last thought before I shower and start my day: Why do people believe we are supposed to give third, fourth, fifth, sixth and seven opinions on matters we are not a party to the transaction of? Is it all that free info flying around the Internet and squabbling in the forums that places them under the impression it is okay to step out on your broker with ten other brokers? Inquiring minds really want to know...
