Having an agitating day dealing with the realtor. Poor customer service that I'm really tired of. People in sales should know how to be proactive communicators.

FFS:


DO. YO'. JOB!!!

I always refuse to sign their agreements. "Please sign here that says you won't get another realtor for 30 days". Er, no. Do your job, and I'll let you keep it.

Yea, but now it's too late for that. And I'm signed in for quite a while.

Well, there's always plan B. Make it more work for him to not do his job, than to do his job. Of course, that takes up a lot of your time.

I always refuse to sign their agreements. "Please sign here that says you won't get another realtor for 30 days". Er, no. Do your job, and I'll let you keep it.

Realtor: Here is a 30 day agreement for me to be your realtor.
Client: No way! Do your job, and I'll let you keep it.
Realtor: Ok.
*15 days later*
Realtor: So I've advertised in several publications and online, I've shown the house a dozen times and held an open house. It looks like we're going to get several offers.
Client: That's awesome! Hey...um. We've decided that we're going to sell our house for sale by owner so we don't have to pay your commission. You understand right?
Realtor:...

You might not, but a lot of people would. If you're not going to do that, sign the agreement. 30 days is not an unreasonable period to determine if they're "doing their job".

I worked in Escrow.

REALTORS™ are dicks.

I disagree. If you're trying to sell or buy a house, 30 days is an age.

I'm not interested in working with someone that won't take me at my word.

No it isn't. If I'd been able to sell my house in 30 dyas I'd have been ecstatic.

Get used to not working with anyone then. Lots of people don't keep their word. You might, but people don't know you. You're not special; there's no reason you should merit special trust until you demonstrate it to the person in question.

Um, no ****? But sitting there not doing anything for 30 days because your realtor isn't doing his job is an age. If I get a job offer in another town, I can guarantee you I need to be showing up for work sometime shortly after 30 days.

Don't be ridiculous. I've had absolutely no trouble finding people willing to take my word. There's no need to be submit myself to rejects who want some sort of guarantee they won't be fired even if they fail to perform. I don't give a crap if they have concerns or not, frankly. You perform, you get paid. You don't perform, you get fired. Shocking, I know.

Sorry to hear that. That deadline for you does not, however, mean the realtor is not doing their job or that 30 days is an age in selling a house. It's an age because of your personal needs. Pawning this off on the realtor as "not doing their job" because of your circumstance is unrealistic and unfair.

Since this all consists of question-begging on your part, we can ignore it as your typical sense of unjustified superiority towards those around you. If you want to establish what constitutes "doing their job" and also want to not give a crap about their concerns, they probably don't need your business anyhow.

Ah, so you are a buyer in this scenario. It used to be that there wasn't the option for the buyer to sign an agreement with their realtor and the realtor actually worked for the seller. Realtors would face serious legal trouble for saying stuff like "I think this seller is eager to sell".
But really, the thing that really annoyed my parents is without that buyers agreement the following happened.

Buyer: So I saw this ad for this really great house. I went ahead and called the realtor selling it and took a look at it. I really liked it.
Realtor: *sigh* Why didn't you call me? I would have showed the house to you.
Buyer: Oh, I didn't want to bother you. Anyway, I'd like to put a contract on that house.
Realtor: Well, good luck with that. Unfortunately I can't help you with this house and you will need to contact the realtor who showed you the house.
Buyer: But that's the seller's realtor!
Realtor: Yes, yes it is.
