I Ask for Courtesy, please

I write this because we have all lost the need to be courteous to one another. I recently worked with a buyer. She was lovely and we got along quite well, I thought.

She called me one afternoon and then I didn't hear from her. I called but no return call. I thought there was no interest. Then on Christmas Eve I got a call from her asking for help. She was in a rough spot and needed me to help her. I agreed to help and told her what to do. I suggested she call my lender for qualification and that we would meet after Christmas.

My lender did respond to her the day after Christmas (Saturday) and we met on Sunday. As we moved along in this difficult market which I explained what would happen. We wrote 2 offers. Not bad here in the metro D.C. area.

Did she buy it? Well, here is what happened. She stops calling. Just stopped. She got cold feet? or didn't want to work with me? I did finally reach her and she told me she would return my call. Nothing.

Please understand I actually understand if you change your mind or get cold feet or just don't want to because of whatever you feel is stopping you. I just need to know. I can't read your mind.

I just ask that I be treated with the respect and courtesy I gave you that Thursday morning before Christmas. I just ask for the courtesy of a return phone call.

I would request buyers and sellers to please talk to us. We are your realtor. We represent you and understand when you get emotional in your decision. It's okay. We just ask for a return call so that we know what you are thinking. We are on your side we represent you.

Just a thought I would put out there.
