There is Always Someone Waiting to Screw Up Your Day
My good friend Nan told me recently, “no matter how well laid out your plans are, there is always somebody who comes along to f*@! it all up.” She’s right, I am afraid.
I have wasted my whole day fielding calls from clients who wonder why their deals are not closing. Even though they are all over due, all it takes to keep them interested and in a good mood is communication. So first thing in the morning I am calling everyone involved with all my deals to get updates on the situations because I know my peeps are going to be on the line any minute. I received literally zero calls back today from three different sets of lenders, underwriters, brokers, agents, assistants, title companies, and contractors. Are you kidding me?!?!
I am a real estate agent. Sales are few and far between so i am very motivated to get these closed and get a check. Why is no one else? Does everyone have a supplemental job that is keeping their wallets so fat that a few thousand dollars to each of them from my transaction isn’t worth it a return phone call?
It not only leaves me in the dark but puts potential strain on my relationship with my client.
To me it is unacceptable for profession people to let a day pass without communication with the other professionals with whom they are in current transactions. Sloppy, rude, disrespectful, and lazy I call it! What would you call it?
