How to stop annoying phone calls from Real Estate agents (Vulcan7

[Thomas M.]

I own 4 properties. I used to get hundreds of calls per year from real estate agents who are cold calling using Vulcan7's illegal auto-spam robo-call dialer system. It's a real nuisance. All of them want me to list my property for sale.

I've gotten a few of the major offenders off my back with this little trick. It's usually jack-*** companies like Hilton Hyland, Coldwall Banker, and Keller Williams (the worst one).

They usually have a sales person call who has a british accent, and this person talks to you like you've known each other for years. It's very patronizing and obnoxious. They ask if you want to sell, and tell you how Hilton Hyland is the GREATEST EVER!!! blah blah blah.

First thing I do is tell them I want to sell. Then I tell them I'm very busy but I want to have a meeting about it, at my office. Then I tell them I'm too busy to manage the rental property anymore, I'm always at the office. I ask them to come to my office for a meeting. I give them an address of an office 40-50 miles away and set the meeting for a time with heavy traffic.

After they drive 2 hours in traffic, they arrive at the office, and they call me to tell me they arrived. At this point I tell them I never had any interest in selling, I'm just wasting their times because I'm sick of cold calls and I'm hoping to discourage future cold calls from RE agents. They get pretty mad usually. Then the next day I call their office and tell whoever I can get on the phone that this person yelled at me and was all angry. This causes the story of the 4 hours of pointless driving to circulate around the company. BINGO no more phone calls from Coldwell Banker!

It's a bit of work to get rid of them, but faster for me to spend 15 minutes on this than it is to answer hundreds of calls from annoying british people.
