In this day and age, agents are STILL ignoring e-mailed requests for their assistance? I find this amazing, especially at a point in our evolution as an industry and given current market conditions.

I have two personal properties to put on market.  One is handled, but it took 3 months to find an agent to reply to my e-mailed request for help. I need and want someone who responds fast. I was shocked to find that most don't respond AT ALL. I prefer e-mail correspondence so I can multi task. (I am a lot like our clients! Except more cooperative.  :)   )

My notes are straightforward. I am immediately IDd as a broker and I am not asking for a referral fee, just help me sell my property.

The second one, I am on agent number 4 now!

Yep. FOUR have failed to respond. I contacted the first one, who I was acquainted with prior, via her website. No response. Second note, directly. No response.

Agent 2, via her website, no response.

Agent 3, via ePRO roster! E mail addie not active.

Agent 4, via ePRO roster. No response! Day 4 now.

I have a 36 acre parcel between Mc Neal and Tombstone, AZ. I want to sell it, no overpricing, no fuss no muss, no cut commission, no referral fee, just help me get r done.

WOW! I participate in so many communities (as well as being pretty much addicted to MySpace, LOL) and sometimes I forget how POWERFUL the RT community is.  :)

I was deluged with responses to this post offline and snagged some cool agents to help me. THANK YOU to all who responded. And FAST. You should all be proud.

Why didn't I just make a phone call? Sure, I could have. But I don't prefer to roll that way. As a broker owner, I have (LITERALLY) a phone on each ear with another ringing. I get my 'personal' stuff done at the crack of dawn before the world wakes up. THAT'S when I want to be able to communicate.  And e-mail/texting works for me the best.

I now know a BUNCH of new people in Southern AZ who are awake and ready to do business. Thank you all again!

PS. Bonnie, I totally relate to your comment. :)
