Good Morning!

Are realtors crazy? We listed my wife's house with a realtor here in town and things have not been what I would consider good, maybe it is just my inexperience with dealing with realtors, but we worked our butts off getting the house ready to show before we left for the wedding. We were gone 2 weeks and we get a call a week into our vacation / honeymoon asking if it is ok to show the house. We were like YES!!! The realtor then went on to say that the log book and other documentation wasn't setup yet. ARGH!!

We have been back from our trip for a couple of weeks now and we have been working on small details, painting over small cracks in the paint, re-hanging closet doors and such, so we have been back over to the house now and then, twice in the two weeks we have been back, the doors have been left unlocked and lights left on. When I called to mention this to our realtor all he said he could do was apologize, that this doesn't happen. I'm like well it happened here!

He also wanted all the small detail work done so he could put it on the parade of homes, I guess this is a trip that the realtors make through the community to show other realtors the houses that are available. I told him that we would get the house done and have it ready, if we could. I have called him to confirm that the house will be on the parade of homes and I get no call back. Is this normal? Again we have worked hard to get the house prepared and to not hear anything back is a bit disheartening..

Anyway time to call the realtor again!

Hi,

Sounds like you've been putting a lot of work into the house. I hope it sells soon for you!

Indeed, it's time to give that realtor a good talking to

Well he finally called back.. Today, from the house and complimented us on the repairs! He also stated that in Stillwater house sales drop off in July and there are very few house closings in August. He also said that it picks up around the first of September. Here's to hoping.
