Seller ethics question for realtors

[Nate Mur]

Hi all,

I had a realtor that we have used in the past for the place we're in now, and went through one more time with a deal that didn't work out. A few weeks back I had reached out that we would like to sign soon as we had started a process to buy some land that would be hitting the market within 60 days. (nursing home situation)

To shorten the story, we had to make some quick moves to get things lined up. I had reached out to get signed on with our realtor last Saturday, called again on Monday and didn't get a response until this morning. We had signed with someone else last night. Am I in the wrong here? Lacking patience? I would have preferred to continue working with the same person as they are very experienced with great resources but have no patience for unresponsiveness.  Do i try to salvage the situation for future transactions or leave it as it is?

Thanks!

If they took 4+ business days to return your call, then I wouldn't worry.  You could have called their office to see if they were on vacation, but most realtor would still check calls while they are away or change their voice mail to tell them who to contact.
