The Bizzy Blondes

My wife and I went in to the Bizzy Blondes because were trying to buy a house, and one we were interested in on an online real estate site was listed through them. We set up an appointment to meet with an agent. We met in the evening and the agent presented us with a "Welcome to the Bizzy Blondes" info packet which shows pictures of happy people buying homes. After drinking the punch for 30 minutes he gave us a bunch of listings and we made plans to see an open house. Business as usual so far. We go to the open house, make an offer, but the offer is turned down because someone offered $100,000 over asking price. Still not a big deal, you can't buy them all. I call the agent the next day to set up some more open houses with some listings he gave us, as well as some we found. I get no reply. Multiple phone calls and emails are sent out to this guy to no avail. Alright, we say, this guy is upset that we didn't make a counter offer and he's done with us. We move on, find another realtor, and end up making an offer on another house. The day our offer is accepted on the house I now own, the phone rings and it's the agent from Bizzy Blondes. He leaves a message: "Hi it's Blahblah from Bizzy Blondes, sorry I've been out of touch for a few weeks but there just hasn't been anything out there that I think would have been the right fit for your guys. Call me back" My wife and I have a good sense of humor and figure he must have a pretty serious story about why he has been AWOL for 5 weeks so we decide to email him in order to maintain our composure. An email exchage occurs: We Say: "Blahblah, You do realize that we reached out to you a number of times to set up open houses and you never called us back? We've been to at least 15 open houses and made 2 offers since you stopped calling us. We're in Escrow as we speak!" He Says: "I'm so sorry, honestly my dad has been sick and that's why I've been off the radar." We end the conversation by emphasizing to him that we'd found another realtor. Now, I don't know what the truth is here. Did his father get sick? If that's true then I feel really bad for him, but still I would have appreciated a call/email/text. At the very least hand us off to someone within your company, take a small commission. If he's lying then that is cause for concern on multiple levels. He wasn't a bad or malicious person but regardless of the truth he was unprofessional either way to say the least.

They were really nice and helpful. They took their time explaining everything with me. They were very easy to work with.
