I’ll take your seconds.

For the third time in a couple of weeks, I have received emails and phone calls from potential clients that have been snubbed by other Realtors. 
The first was a lovely couple for WI looking for a second (winter home) in Maricopa. They found a property online and tried to call and email the listing agent to find out more information about the property- no return call, no return email. I took them out looking for homes last week.
Today I received an email from a young man looking to sell his home in Queen Creek. I called him back and was very surprised how fast I responded to his email. He had previously spoken or emailed two other realtors that have since not returned his calls.
He is very realistic about the market conditions in Queen Creek. We talked for about 20 mins about the state of the market and some of his options.
Market conditions are challenging in Maricopa and Queen Creek, but they will get better. I look at every email or phone call from a potential client as an opportunity to potentially help a home owner or home buyer- regardless of the outcome- I can find time to return a call or email. If I am unable to help them- I will let them know upfront.
As Realtors, we are professionals, and it is my belief- we need to act in a professional manner and to me that means returning calls, emails and trying to find solutions for people looking to buy or sell real estate.
