What a shame. Anyone who is in sales in any industry just has to realize that customer service is the most important part of the job. Those who don't, just won't last. I predict a fall out in the real estate business and think we will see some agencies in town closing up shop. God knows, we've got enough of them right now. - Lori Alexa – stories like the one you tell make all us agents look bad. What a shame.

Surprisingly on my last visit no one wanted to talk to me. I though car dealers are so desperate for a sale they would be jumping from joy when they see me. I just don't get it.

My husband and I have been going to Hoboken open houses for the past 3 months looking for our perfect condo. Weekends are the best time for us to view properties, and I always make a short list of the properties we want to see. I can't tell you how frustrating it is to get to a property and not be able to view it. A few weekends back, we stood outside in the cold following the instructions on how to ring a buzzer to access a unit. After a few attempts, we realized it was not going to work. The listing agent did not have any specific contact details posted (just the hand-scribbled note on how to ring the buzzer), but I saw a sign stating it was a Liberty listing. I called the Liberty office explaining I was outside trying to get into the open house at this address and asked them to call the agent to let us in. They said they had no way of knowing who was running the open house or how to get in touch with them. I (somewhat sarcastically) said that this agent was not going to have any people able to visit this open house and probably wouldn't even know why s/he had such a poor turnout. I thought it was odd that the Liberty office wouldn't offer to do some research and get back to me. I found their handling of the situation very unprofessional. I never bothered to go back to see the unit. There are enough condos on the market where I felt I shouldn't have to work that hard to go see this one. I also can relate to instances where the signage is extremely poor, and I feel like I'm lost in the hallway trying to find an unmarked door. As a prospective buyer, I just move on to view the next unit on my list. Lori, I read your post and couldn’t help but think how true it is.
