Ideal Client Trait #2: Responsible

One of the things that drove me nuts as a professional real estate agent was irresponsible behavior on the part of clients.

I remember two particular incidents, but I could talk about 40-50 of them.

On this particular day, a client wanted to see a house a number of blocks from my home and he had to see it before work, ~ 7:30 AM. We agreed to meet at the house. I made the appointment and got there a little early to open the place up, turn on the lights, etc. Waited, he never showed. Never called. I never heard from him again.

The other case I remember was an individual who "had" to see a home up in North Philadelphia at 4:30. I fought my way through rush hour traffic up to the house, got there a little early to open it up and look around. He didn't show either. A call to him was unproductive.

That was the last house I tried to show in North Philly. Have you ever made an appointement with an agent to see a house, then never show up.

As said, I could go on and on, but I won't.

I'm trying to create a more informed real estate customer. Is this working?
