Sign Calls

Sign calls are one of the most exciting and yet frustrating parts of real estate for me. Let me explain 2 examples from this week. I have a house listed and it is in a neighborhood that has a school and lots of traffic. I constantly get calls from people inquiring about it and on occasion they decide that it sounds like something they would like to see. Great!!!! I potentially pick up a buyer and sell my own listing or if they don't like it maybe I sell them something else. My hopes are high!! So, I print out a bunch of houses to show them in case they don't like this one, hurry out there, and wait..... and wait longer.... They don't show up. Typical. I don't understand it and never will but it happens all the time. Second situation of the week. Same story except these people show up. They love the house, don't have an agent, and need to move before the end of March. Perfect. We decide to meet again on Sunday and look at a few more before they make a final decision. We exchange numbers and email address's. I just know these people are the real deal. 3 days have gone by and they won't answer my phone calls or email. Why?????? I don't know and I never will. I don't put pressure on people and I give them the option to say, "We are working with someone else or we aren't ready yet." Why do they have to lead me one. Oh, well I used to worry about it but now I get over it pretty quickly, although this post does make me sound like I'm not over it... It is just strange and I would never consider being that sketchy. All I want is honesty people, just honesty!!!
