To their sellers. I tried to show a house on Tuesday, but the lockbox wasn’t there. Neither listing agent has called me back yet. My clients and I have found another house (there’s quite a bit of inventory out there), but shouldn’t there be a way to report the agents to their “clients”? The fact that there is only one picture in the MLS should be a violation in and of itself as well.

I agree – I called an agent this afternoon after a commercial property was listed that said “call Listing Agent for financials”. Called the listing agent, he emailed me later and simply said “you can call the owner, 540-XXX-XXXX”. What’s the point? If the owner wants to take calls, say that, but how do we defend a fee if we don’t take active participation in our clients’ properties?
Why don’t you call the homeowner annoymously?
call them from a blocked number and don’t use your name?
Amen!

Even worse, in my case is that the seller is being potentially harmed by the agents’ inactions. A ready, willing and able buyer was unable to see the house, and in this market, that may be the seller’s only shot.

I happen to agree with the “one photo being a violation” thought.

As a internet window shopper. Whenever I see only one photo (or less) the only assumption I can make is that the property must be a real dog. And/or there is something they’re trying to hide.

I wonder whether the Sellers with only one or two or no photos even knows how poorly their property shows online. If only there was a way to tell them …
