A long time ago, way before texting became a valid method of business communications, there was an idea called "The Golden Rule". The essence of The Rule was that everyone should treat others the same way they would like to be treated in turn. It seems that everyone who is asked about it agrees that The Rule is a good idea, but it seems to be falling out of practice.
Realtors are fond of saying that our profession is a 24/7, go-get-em, no holds barred type of life. However, it seems that the real estate practices that are thriving put a limit on hours worked, include quality time with spouse and family, and strive to provide a quality of life as well as a quantity of sales. Do you know anyone who would gladly take business calls regarding a property at 2:00 in the morning?
So, I ask you, why would a buyer's Realtor believe that repeatedly calling a seller's Realtor well after any any "normal" working hours to ask a question that could easily wait until morning be OK? Using The Rule, would it be OK to call the buyer's Realtor at 4:00 am to add a little more explanation be OK?
People, we often gladly stretch the notion of a "working day" to accommodate our client's requirements. Let's keep our peer-to-peer interactions to a reasonable working day!
