I have been working with a buyer as you know from a previous post that we submitted an offer. It took a week for them to get back to us, with a signed contract (thank goodness!). So I forwarded it to my client for him to review.
I got the contract on Monday afternoon, my buyer is out of state so I sent him the contract he needed to look it over and would get it back to me the next morning. I wasn't worried, heck it took a week for the sellers to get it to me. Well Tuesday morning I am getting a call from the sellers agent where the contract was and why I haven't sent it to him back yet. Are you kidding me? I sent it to him yesterday afternoon its only 9:30 right now. Give him some time to look over all the added addendums you sent.
So I get it to him Tuesday afternoon, I give him a call just now to make sure he got it and if it was submitted to the bank yet since he was such in a hurry. He tells me yes he got the email no he hasn't printed it out and no it hasn't been submitted.
Why in the heck would he rush me if he was going to submit as soon as he got it? Dealing with agents like this drives me crazy, but this is the house my buyers love and what they want, so I have to bite my tongue and swallow it.
How do you deal with agents like this? Help me understand this? Wouldn't you want to get this to the bank ASAP to get the deal closed and move on to the next? Why wait so long for the possiblity to have the buyers walk away and you need to put the house back on the market?
Does that make sense to you???

No. It absolutely doesn't make sense to me !!! Why wouldn't he submit the offer to bank, when he was rushing you ?? Looks like a crazy agent !!! OMG.
"hurry up, And WAIT"
I never understand peoples miss placed sopradic work ethic... But I have seen listing agents hold offers in hopes of selling on there own, but in this market? that is just nuts. Get it signed, get it closed, PERIOD!

Typical REO agent maybe? Level of service should be a top priority but so many agents dont get this.
Marcus I just love that saying!
I don't understand it either. This has happened to me before and it's very frustrating. Whenever I receive an offer I always try to present it to the Seller as soon as possible and can't stand it when other agents say "opps" haven't printed it out yet! FRUSTRATING!
Melissa Yes very frustrating when we as buyers agent try to get the best deal for our buyers to get them closed as quiclky as possible to have to wait on a lazy listing agent!
