Real Estate Agents cant take weekends off!

[Jeff N.]

Trying to submit a purchase agreement on a property but my agent doesn't work on weekends or weekdays after 6PM.

I have bought a few investment properties in the past and never had this issue with previous buyer agents. Just thought I would share.

Not going to bypass the agent since they did find the property, but if the deal goes south I'm definitely on the hunt for a new agent.

Your thoughts?

If they're successful and making enough money working only "bankers" hours, then good luck changing them. I don't like working any harder or longer than I have to either.

Now, if an agent takes the weekends off and complains they're not closing enough sales, well then the only person they can blame is standing in their bathroom mirror.

Personally, I don't like spending my weekends on real estate, so I try to conduct my business during the weekdays and an agent like yours would be a good match for me. However, weekends are when a large number of shoppers look at real estate, so if you fit that category, you need to find an agent that fits the bill.
