Really, truly, and quite seriously - You should have ZERO tolerance for an agent who does not return calls promptly (or emails, for that matter).
When you interview agents to assist you in the home selling or homebuying process, one of the first questions you should ask is, "What is your standard time frame for returning calls and/or emails?"
Why is this so very important?
FOR SELLERS: When a buyer wants information about your property, and inquires about YOUR home to your agent, that buyer wants immediate service, or very close to it. Waiting a day is WAY TOO long.
Consider this- a high powered or Type "A" personality places an offer on your property, and your agent is lax in communication. That buyer WILL walk, and who loses out? You do. Don't let it happen. You can get a very good idea as to the timeliness of the agents communication skills prior to listing your home. See how long it takes them to respond to you.
FOR BUYERS: Are you willing to miss out on that fabulous property that just came on the market because your agent doesn't tell you about it? Or, just as bad, you tell your agent that you want to see a property, and it's already under deposit by the time they get back to you?
By the way, the agents that are not good at getting back to you are the same way with other agents, too- and trust me, none of us like it either.
Ask any one of my clients, or any of the agents that I do business with- they will all tell you that I get back to them very quickly- usually within just two hours, but most of the time within minutes.
Aren't you paying for the best representation? If you don't have it, contact me by email or phone, and prepare to get spoiled in a nice way.
