Subject: Annoying agents! Author: P.O-ed [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 14:07:24 09/20/02 Fri We have our home for sale by owner, and I thought it was bad getting all these annoying calls from agents all day long. Well today was the best I've seen. At about 9:00 in the morning my wife and I looked outside our window to see some guy puting a real estate sign in our front lawn. I was infuriated because as far as I knew, I didn't list with any agent. I ran out side to ask the guy what he was doing and he told me that his boss instructed him to put it there. Then he yanked my sign out of the lawn! Now I was getting really pi**ed when suddenly an older guy gets out of the car dressed up in a suit and asked if there was some kind of problem. I told him yes there was a problem, because I wasn't interested in listing with an agent. He opened up a book and said that there must have been some kind of mix up because his company sent him here to list. I was confused and then the guy in a suit told me let's go in the house and talk about this. He also said he wanted to use the phone so he could call his office and find out what's wrong. Once he was in the door, I realized what was going on. This was his trick of getting in the door so he could give me a presentation filled with all kinds of sales pitches. He said that there was a mistake made, but he used this mistake as an opportunity to tell me why it was a good idea to list with him. I ordered him out of the house and threatened to call the police. Then the guy acted like I was a jerk for ordering him to leave. He got mad and then called his worker who, unbeknown to us, was sneaking through the house and taking room measurements. I could not believe what I was seeing! We called the police and filed a compalint, but they said that the agent really didn't break any laws. We let him in the house and there was still a possibilty that there was a mix up and that's why they put a sign in the ground and started taking measurements once we were in the house. What ever you do, don't let this guy in your house to use your phone after he puts a sign in the lawn. He smokes cigars and looks like he hasn't washed in weeks.
