Courtesy

No fancy pictures or glib phrases to catch everyone's attention on this one, just a major rant on the lack of courtesy and professionalism by Realtors in Arizona. I have had a number of agents view my properties and I have contacted at ten to twelve of them to get feedback, good or bad, and NOT ONE has been courteous enough to return my call or email.

It is no wonder that our profession ranks so low in the eyes of the public. When did courtesy go out of style? On one of my posts I had one agent from Washington say that he was so busy things fell through the cracks and when I got as busy as he was it would happen to me. To that and those that think they are above common decent courtesy I say, you are just rude, lazy, unprofessioinal and a disgrace to industry.

I am pretty sure that if you can't show professionalism to a peer that you aren't doing the job with he client either because your true character shows itself by not being courteous when it doesn't necessarily benefit you. I'm not at all surprised that your business is suffering during this market.

Common courtesy NEVER goes out of style no matter how important you "think" you are or how busy you "think" you are.
