No call backs

[tigerlily]

 ???Will someone please tell me why realtors will NOT call or email back. I have been looking for a place to rent/lease and have contacted 2 realtors for more information on the houses and not a one of them has called or emailed back. Have they made so much money that they don't need the business anymore. Realtors are the biggest bunch of lazy butts in the universe.

I'm glad you brought this up.  My girlfriend and I ran into this when we were needing to rent in the Jenks school district.  I'd say we received a call or email back a 1/3 of time.  Also, just because there is a "for rent" sign in front of the house does not mean the house is available for rent.

-end rant

I know what you mean I looked at some houses that had the for rent sign in the yard made the call and was told "oh it's been rented we just forgot to take the sign out of the yard". Do people not realize that it is stressful enough to try to find a place to rent but wastes time and energy to try to get ahold of the realtors or owners only to either not get a call back or be told that the place is already rented.

My guess is, there's not near the $$ in it for a realtor on a rental vs. selling a home.

You are probably right so why do they bother seems like a waste of time for both parties.

If you gave them your name, they may have done a quick google check or credit inquiry and didn't like what they saw. Also, many real estate people leave their signs out front of rental property or sold properties in an effort to get free advertising and prospects. I don't think its legal but I don't think they care.

True. If you weren't recruited to live in that Jenks (or Union) neighborhood because of your son's athletic abilities, they won't call back, or they will tell you the house is no longer for rent.
