The Buyer Didn’t Show…

I think I have an asshole realtor.  Open house today had one person come.  She had told me attendance would be low.  But this it the text I just got.

Here is the feedback from Britany, call me if you would like to discuss: (Brtany is her employee, who ran the open house)

Only had one person. They zipped through and said it was not for them. You should know, the house was picked up, but not clean. The counter tops were dirty and cluttered, the appliances were dirty and needed cleaned and polished, the floors needed swept and mopped, just overall not a good or appealing presentation of the home. It also smelt very unpleasant like the trash needed to go out.

Here is my response:

Dana I spent the morning cleaning the floors and cleaning the counters. Whoever told you that was wrong. I emptied all the trash yesterday and the windows were open all day. That’s insulting. No I didn’t polish the appliances. The house was spotless, come over and look. And smell.  It was cleaner than the other times when people have given us good feedback. Something needs to be done to get this house in front of the buyers, besides dropping the price again.  

I am so angry with this person, who was probably mad they had to do this on a Sunday afternoon.  And angry at my realtor for repeating this to me.  She lives across the street, she knows my house and how I keep it.  Geezus, my house is always clean, and I made it spotless.  I’ve been working at it for 2 damn days.  I just told her her employee needs to find what’s right with the house and sell it to the buyers.  There are fingerprints on the refrigerator, that’s it….

Geezus. I think I have to deal with her for another month.  Then I can switch realtors.  I better go look it up.  So pissed off right now.

So the buyer didn’t walk through the door.

Shit.  Better days are coming.

Love and light.

  1. The right buyer for your home is out there. And, when you can, ditch your realtor.

    THEY MEAN MORE than most people think. Good luck. Stay positive. Believe it will happen.

  2. Are you fucking kidding me? That’s all you talk about…cleaning your house! You need to fire that realtor….it’s doable….she seems to be just waiting for a call instead of actually promoting your home.
    This pisses me off too!

  3. Oh crap, sorry to hear that LTLLW. The realtor is an ass, just trying to cover her incapability – one view for an open house? Pfffff. Sure the people didn’t come anywhere near because they smelt the trash, huh?? Idiot. Worry not, it will work out. I hope the vino helped put you in a better mood! 🙂

      • Of course it was spotless. But the two key points in my view are: (1) she couldn’t get more then ONE person walk through your door for an open house, (2) people don’t buy a house because it is clean, they buy it for location / layout / price. Should there be a little dust on the counter (although I’m sure there wasn’t) that should not change the marketability of a house, in realistic terms. So, in summary, yes: what a bitch.
