Open House Tour Pet Peeves
Only two, actually. Number one is agents who schedule an open house for, say, 11:00 AM and fail to show up to open the place. In the past, my time was valuable and gas was cheap. Now that's reversed but I still won't loop back later in the day to see if the agent decided to work for a living.
Okay, that's always the agent's fault. Sellers can also set blood boiling by insisting that their agent schedule a broker open house on the wrong day. North Street and west: Tuesdays. East of North Street, Thursdays. We're just not going to drive to, say, Sheephill Road in Old Greenwich when we're in Byram, so the seller is annoying his agent by wasting her time and accomplishing nothing: no one will be there. If a particular day is inconvenient, hold your open house another week. Or don't expect any agents to view your house, because it won't happen.
