The offer came in under asking. By like twelve thousand, which honestly wasn't crazy for the market right then. My sellers were motivated, we could work with it. But the other agent, this guy, he calls me and says his buyers want a response by 5pm or they're walking. It's 3:30. Fine. Rush my sellers, get them to counter at eight under, send it over at 4:47. Radio silence. Next morning I call him. Voicemail. Text him. Nothing. Finally around 2pm he calls back and goes oh yeah they decided to go with another property. Just like that. No rejection, no withdrawal, nothing in writing. And I'm standing there thinking, you gave us a deadline and then ghosted? But here's the part that actually made me want to scream. Three weeks later his buyers come back. Same buyers. New offer. Five thousand less than their first one. And he presents it to me like we should be grateful. Says the market's shifted. The market shifted in three weeks? Really? My sellers told me to tell him where to put it, which I did, professionally. House sold two weeks after that to someone else for asking price. Found out later he'd been licensed for like eight months. Brand new. Which explains some of it but not the part where he never once apologized or even acknowledged that he just vanished for sixteen hours after demanding we rush. That part I still don't understand. Just basic communication. Pick up your phone. That's literally the job.
