Lost 2 deals due to lack of responsive realtors

[Gloria C.]

What do I need to do to get realtors to respond in hot markets? Is it unreasonable to expect a response within 1/2 hr? Maybe I need to call the sellers agent myself? Responses are appreciated....that you!

"Do u think expecting a response within 30 minimum is unreasonable? "

What's your track record?  Can you show them a list of done deals and that you're worth spending time on?

If I don't know you or your history or if you have the wherewithal to close, you're not top of my call-back list.  I get calls from buyers wanting stuff, I spend time finding them things and then they vanish.

Also as a buyer you can usually (do NOT sign a Buyer Agency) pick any agent you want.

Having said all that, sometimes 30 minutes is a quick turnaround especially if you're asking for info they have to get together and make sure its accurate.
