I get similiar things as well, but not to this extreme. My site REALESTO.com ranks well in the search engines and it blows me away how many REALTORS, who are in this profession for a living don't understand how our own mls works. Unbelievable.

I recently changed my idx so that you have to sign on first. Our MLS is supposed to be "proprietory", not something we give away... I've even had a couple of idiot agents sign onto MY idx to get addresses, and when I "cancel" them, they sign back on! One "lady" went back and forth like this 5 times! I'll tell you, she was DETERMINED! **Jim Gatos´s last blog post..Michael Jackson Michael Jackson Michael Jackson Michael Jackson

That would be one of the moments where stabing yourself in the eye would be more enjoyable than trying to explain to the guy on the phone that he needs to be a better prepared agent and that you ARE NOT the listing agent, he just used your site's MLS search to find the house…sigh.

It is just amazing how many agents out there don't seem to know how to do their job. And for Ira's comment-WOW-yes, that client needs to RUN to another agent that knows the area.

THIS JUST IN
"Message:I have a buyer for this hosue….when can we see it?"

THIS JUST OUT
Hi xxxxxx – best to check the MLS for showing instructions – you’re on my IDX site and I’m not the listing agent

Good luck

Ira

Yes – out of area agent from a very expensive area. Wait till her buyers find out the neighborhood is zoned M-60.

As in machine gun.

Really – not far from it there was automatic fire a few nights ago.

Just another reason why buyers should use agents who know the neighborhoods.

I think people think that I'm the area information center. They call me all the time with random questions and don't understand when I don't know the times for events off the top of my head like I'm sitting at a deck getting paid by the visitors bureau. **Daniel Bates - McClellanville Realtor´s last blog post..2009 Hurricane Season Begins…and I need your help

If I was sitting in the car or next to this person as this conversation went down…

That person would be fired. I'm surprised that this happens multiple times to you…but wait…no, I'm not.

Great stuff Jay. Fun to see what the real estate agents get to deal with before it enters into my world on the mortgage side. Steve **Steve Lines´s last blog post..Top 10 Reasons College Graduates Should Use FHA Loans to Buy a House
