So disappointed

We were supposed to have an open house on Sunday.  My realtor has known about it for awhile, but instead of getting his ducks in a row, he went to Mardi Gras.  He informed me on Tuesday that he missed the deadline for the free open house ad in the local Homeseeker that comes out on Fridays.  We told him to take out a paid ad.

 Well, I looked in the paper today.  There's an ad, alright.  Lovely color ad, in fact.  But absolutely no mention of an open house.  No day.  No time.

This is on top of our home's listing being messed up on realtor.com

I guess the open house is going to be moved back 2 weeks.  He better place the correct ad this time.

Re: So disappointed

  • I hate it when you have to count on other people to do something for you, then they don't follow through!  Especially when it's as important as selling a house.  I hope you can get everything worked out!

  • I am trying to be patient in the process, but he keeps letting us down.  And he's a long time friend.  We shouldn't have hired him. Hindsight....
  • I would change realtors and find someone who wants to help you sell your house. This guy sounds like a joke!

  • That is so frustrating!  I can imagine it's even worse because he's a friend that you're counting on.  I know it would be really awkward, but if things continue this way I would not hesitate to find a new realtor.

  • I guess DH lit a fire under his butt because the realtor.com pictures are fixed now.  And I should look at the bright side.  At least we got a nice colored ad in the paper. 
  • yes, it's hard to use friends for things like this.  I learned that the hard way in buying two places in ATL.  Never again. 

    I think you have to look at this as it's just business and if he's not doing his job (which seems like he's had 2 strikes now) then I'd find another realtor.  It will be hard to do this (break apart from him) but probably for the best as you want this to work out to sell your place.

    JMO.  Hope it all works out.

  • oh that sucks...

    STINKY STUPID REALTOR!!!

     

  • So the update is that we are going to have the open house in 2 weeks.  Apparently the newspaper is admitting some blame in the mess-up, because they offered us 2 free ads on this Saturday and Sunday.  We discussed it and told our REA that since people buy the Friday paper specifically for the Homeseeker, we'd rather wait until the 14th. He's going to see if they will give us a free ad the Wednesday before and also in the Homeseeker edition that week instead.  I'm still frustrated but feel a little bit better.  And the ad today was good except for the omitted open house info.  It looks like we'll be getting 3 ads for the price of one. So keep your fingers crossed and send us selling dust!
  • New update.  REA didn't confirm with the OA News...so there is an ad in today's paper that we're having an open house TOMORROW.  Good grief.  So you can imagine what my day is like.
