Please Do NOT Call My Cell Phone - I'm To Cool....

No Cell Phone Status....

Maybe I'm not cool enough. In our market of 27,000 plus members we have a fair amount of agents that flat out "refuse" to post their cell phone numbers on the Mls.

Instead they post an office number that they do not work out of!

If an assistant does answer she's usually isn't licensed and is of virtually of little use as she can't answer many questions. She always says things like... "let me call him and see."

What really irritates me is when the unlicensed assistant attempts to present "counters" amendments and basically handle the entire transaction on behalf of the agent, all the while the agent is "busy."

I've closed 12 deals at once - all by myself & played golf, went out to eat and had time for family & friends. If I can do it, so can you!

Here's what you miss when you don't post your cell phone number:

• Many agents like to call before showing a property to ensure "nothing is working on it" before driving out and spending time & effort on a house that very well may have a contract in the works. My point is you could lose a showing if the buyer is expecting confirmation, which mine do.

• You send a message that "you are to busy" and "do not want anymore calls." If I have a buyer that needs to close quickly, I expect communication, not roadblocks and obstacles.

• You have to be missing out on a lot of potential buyers, sellers and potential business as consumers are able to view your contact information as well. Isn't it your duty to attempt to take advantage of all prospects on behalf of your seller? It isn't your duty to do what is convenient for you business.

You could miss a lot! & you irritate folks who want information that your assistant cannot provide.

Some agents seem to think this is "cool" as If it's a sign or banner that says.... "I'm to busy"

Being busy and being out to lunch or "out of pocket" can send a bad message to a lot of people!
