This is what my answering machine says. I always answer my phone, (not at 6 am on a Sunday morning or  11 pm on a Monday night)  unless I am talking to a client that is. I think it is absolutely rude to answer the phone while you are on a listing agreement, writing up an offer or showing property. I pride myself in paying as much attention as I possibly can to my clients and I just don't think that I should interrupt a conversation because my phone rings. Yesterday I had a message, it said  "Since you are obviously unavailable I will call another Florida Realtor to help my buy property"

That got me thinking, how do you handle phone calls when you are with a client?

Where do you draw the line?

 Where do you draw the line?

Taking a listing or not taking it?  Working with a crazy buyer or not working with him? Do you buy this expensive advertising or not?

I wish there was a universal answer to this but I guess it is a "case by case" decision.

AND honestly half of the time I make the wrong decision. A listing that I do not take because it is WAY overpriced sells 2 month later, a buyer that changes his mind every 5 minutes finally finds the house he loves and buys it in a heartbeat. Another Realtor tells you that she get all her lead from that expensive advertising you did NOT buy.

So, what do you do?

How many times do you make the wrong decision?

Where do you draw the line?
