Would you give a realtor...
...who has supposedly had your house listed for eight days but has YET to post it on the internet????
...who recommends termite companies based not on who is competent, but apparently based on who is not as good at finding problems. ("Oh, no! You called Terminix and not the croney I recommended? Terminix ALWAYS finds stuff!!!!")
...who starts telephone conversations with you in mid sentence and then constantly goes off on scatterbrained rabbit trails about the other irons she has in the fire, instead of focusing on her business with you while she's talking to you.
...who fails repeatedly to explain what she's doing in lay terms and speaks in half thoughts?
...who leaves your place saying that an open house is not going to be necessary since everyone looks at the internet these days, and then calls you to schedule an open house.
Seriously, how much time would you give such a realtor before moving on to someone who can actually communicate effectively in various ways?
I'd like to know. Cuz at this point I'm thinking people buy houses from her just to get her out of their lives.

hope things go better for you...
How did you find her? Word of mouth, recommendation? just wonderin'
Perhaps it would be wise to keep notations of her failings and give her broker a call.
Open houses are good for the realtors to do a walk through and familiarize themselves with the house or so I am told. Very rarely does a sale come from one.
In all seriousness, I'd give her one more week. And let her know that up front.
Send an email to Mimi. She's a realtor and maybe can give you some pointers.
And, apologies for the entire profession. I'm sorry.
My tendency is to give people too many chances. Now I move along to greener pastures when I see the signs of a bad thing.
I would not give your realtor one more day. Carolyn Wheeler is a personal church friend of ours that we've known for over 15 years. She is in Lex. Maybe you could try her for a new realtor.
maybe pray to St. Xenia too...she is good for houses, etc.
