Got a call last week from a woman who needed an inspection. She was sent to me by TWO previous clients that work with her. I set up the inspection for today 11/2/07.
She called back last Friday and said we had to postpone the inspection because the court records showed the SF as 2350 and the MLS had it at 2800 (4bed/3bath). I moved it to next Monday 11/5/07.
She called yesterday and told me they got the SF worked out and needed the inspection Friday (today), Saturday or Sunday. I told her that I couldn't do it Today or tomorrow, and we don't work on Sunday. However, I could have the guy that works for me do it tomorrow. No she really wanted me to do it, since her friends had used me.
I call her this afternoon to find out what was going on - I had THAT feeling. She tells me her Realtor can't wait till Monday and she needs someone tomorrow or Sunday. I again tell her that I can't do it until Monday, but I can have my guy do it tomorrow.
She says her husband is calling around for someone. So I finally just tell her: Look, you had two friends refer me, and you can't wait for me, and you will take someone out of the phone book over a guy that has trained under me and will do a great job for you. She mumbles something about her husband..... (she is Chinese, so it's hard to understand everything she says).
I finally just wish her luck and hang up. Go figure the logic with some people.
