The Shooting Star Realtor

We just bought a lot. It was a short sale. Great quiet street in our subdivision. We plan on building and renting out current home in same neighborhood. Agent was great during process. But after the sale closed, she wouldn’t respond to my texts or emails. Why was I trying to get hold of her? ...

We just bought a lot. It was a short sale. Great quiet street in our subdivision. We plan on building and renting out current home in same neighborhood. Agent was great during process. But after the sale closed, she wouldn’t respond to my texts or emails. Why was I trying to get hold of her? Because she left our lot in Pending status for 10 days. You must change it to Sold.

Why was she not responding? She left her broker. Oh, so… because you leave your broker for another broker, you don’t believe in service after the sale? Or being an honorable professional? So now you just don’t give a damn right? It left a bad taste in my mouth but frankly, I’m not surprised. Most Realtors are like that. Focused on getting deal done, making a commission, act like they’ve known you forever, rah rah, kissy kissy, lovey lovey, get your $$$, then bye bye baby! Fake. I call these shooting stars. They fire up fast but flame out just as fast. The next time you need a professional real estate expert, contact Mims. We give you 100% loyal service from the beginning of our relationship until the day we die. Period. We are marathoners, not sprinters.
