Effff, frustrated!

DH and I had an appt. with our real estate agent to see a few houses yesterday and we were really excited about it.  Apparently we have tattoos on our forehead saying "please screw us over!"  Our agent totally forgot about us and stood us up!  I'm getting frustrated with the process of buying a home, our first agent was totally worthless (showing up to appts really late, extremely hard to get ahold of, trying to show us a 55 and over community property, etc...) and now this agent completely forgets about us! 

Okay, vent over, thanks for reading Smile

Re: Effff, frustrated!

  • A coworker of mine is having similar experiences!  Geez, you'd think with the housing market being the way it is that real estate agents would be falling all over themselves to try to make their customers happy and get a sale!

  • To top off my frustration level, when DH and I got in the car after hearing that she forgot about us, DH turns to me and says "you know, we have to expect things like this to happen."  WHAT!?!?  Why would we have to expect our agent to forget our appts??  Lets just say it was a quiet ride home lol

    That's ridiculous. I've never heard of an agent just forgetting or showing properties that are totally unfit (55+ community). Sorry you're having such a weird experience.

    Um, no. Completely unacceptable. I've worked at a real estate company for 6 years now and I've never once heard of one my agents forgetting about meeting their clients.  I'm sure just b/c I've never heard about it, doesn't mean it hasn't happened, but I still say it's completely unacceptable. I'd be looking for a new agent and calling that agent's broker and complaining. Sorry you're going through this!!

  • I'd be more than frustrated.  (You can join Nancy on my List of People Who I'm Pisssed on Behalf of!)

    Good luck with your search.  If you decide to fire your agent, Vicki Kovar is a family friend and a fantastic CBS agent.  She'd NEVER stand you up!

  • I tried to pm you, but for some reason the Nest sucks and won't let me.

    Anyway, our friend is an agent, and a really nice guy. Wink

    His name is William Gilbert. He sold us our house, and we had a really good experience.

  • We really liked Jennifer Bixby at Don Peterson.  She was referred to me from a friend and found us an amazing house.
  • That is not to be expected.  We had the suckiest real estate agent ever when we first started looking for houses. He honest to God took us to an abandoned crack house down in NE Omaha.  

    Luckily, we found Shari Thomas, and she is fabulous!  She was so flexible with us, and was available whenever we needed her.  If we were searching during dinner time, she would take us to dinner.  She really listens to what you want, and ended up helping us decide between two houses this last time.  I think she had a better idea of what we wanted than we did!  Here website is http://www.sellingomahahomes.com/ 

  • we worked with Billy too and he was really nice! http://www.godeeb.com/agents/details.asp?agent=965176

     

  • My brother-in-law (if I ever gave in and got married, of course.. no thanks).

    He helped us get our house, and in our neighborhood (starter homes), there are quite a few for sale. Coyote Run at 190th and Q.

  • When we bought our property, we saw it ourselves, and needed to jump on it asap because it was a foreclosure, and priced really nice. So, we went through our friend - we called him for 3 days, asking him to write our offer.

    He wouldnt get off his arse.

    So, we made a call to a guy in town here that our other friends have used, and he had it wrote up and we signed the paperwork 2 hours later.

    There are motivated agents, and lazy agents. You need to find a motivated one! DO NOT go back to the one that forgot about you. they dont deserve your time, your money, or your business. They are working for YOU!! They are making a lot of money from YOU! At least they could be respectful of your time, and be more organized.

  • Thanks ladies, you all are the best!  I think we'll give her one more chance since this is the only complaint we have against her and my parents had such a postive experience with her (and I'm too "nice" to let her go).  I'll keep you updated in our seach!
