Actually, I just today experienced some bad behavior. My wife called a listing agent this morning to set up an appointment see a house. She was met with the usual avalanche of questions…what is your timeframe?…have you been looking in the area long?….who have you been working with?…and on and on. (Its too bad the agent didn’t use the time to talk up the house.) Then, the agent said the house my wife was calling about was “just listed”. The problem is that the house has been on the market for six months, and was just RE-listed at a lower price. We drive by the property all the time, and we have tracked the property on-line since before December, so we know this to be the case. After being confronted,and then confronted again, the agent admitted it was just relisted. I’m sorry, but flatly lying to someone who you hope to be doing (big) business with is not a way to start things off. Do all agents/brokers do this? I am sure NO, but desperation is causing some ugliness in the rank and file…
Just my 2 cents.
