Listing Agent Won't Return Phone Calls

[Ben Sears]

Anybody have a listing agent not answer the phone, not return phone calls, voicemail full? It took three weeks for my realtor to get a lockbox code on  property we're looking at. We have an offer but the listing agent won't answer the phone. Calls to the broker have been dead ends. They promise to forward messages but no calls back. I guess on the plus side, nobody else is making offers either!

I think everyone in real estate deals with this problem! 80/20 rule applies, only 20% of the agents do all the deals and are actually professional! I have gone as far as knocking on the door of a local owner who's agent was non-responsive! We bought that deal at a significant discount!
