Realtor: “Don’t Call Me, I’ll Call You”
“How about never? Is never good for you?”
—New Yorker cartoon, showing two people scheduling a get-together.
About 2-3 times a year, I handle a deal opposite an agent who seems to have a perpetually full voicemail box.
Which begs the question: “is that on purpose, or are they just not very organized/attentive?”
Sending a Message (But Which One?)
If it’s intentional, I suppose the agent’s message is, “Don’t bother trying to solicit me for anything. If you’re for real, send me a text.”
Or possibly, “I’m so swamped, I don’t want/need any more business.”
On the other hand, if the full mailbox is inadvertent, the implicit message is, “I’m so swamped, I can’t handle any more business.”
P.S.: Trust me, if you’re an agent involved in a deal with me, I’ll figure out how to reach you . . .
