Only Sundays between 11 and 3

Finally! A house came back on the market that was in the right price range, and apparently offers everything my client wants! Checking the MLS I called the owner, as directed by the Listing Agent, to set up an appointment. When the answering machine picked up I excitedly requested showing the house the next evening.

No return call.

Called again, and left another message

No return call.

Waited a day. Called and emailed the Listing Agent and requested his aid in seeing this home. (Here is where is gets good) After three days he forwards my email to his assistant.

Another day goes by.

Assistant leaves voice mail reply telling me to call owner.

Hmmmm

Call owner again and he picks up!!! YEAH! Here is the conversation:

"I would like to show your home this evening at 6:30"

"That is not possible, I have children and we cannot show the house in the evening"

"My client works from 8-5 when would be a good time to show it?

" I can only show it on the weekends"

"Okay, would 2 on Saturday be okay? "

" No, only Sunday after 11 and before 3".

I set up the appointment for Sunday at 2.

Now I see why it is "back on the market" instead of sold. To save others the aggravation I will contact the Listing Agent so he can put the information in the Agent comments. I wonder if the information will be added...I will wait three days and see.

P.S. This is NOT a discount broker
