Default Open House Agents at Fenny

Took a ride today to check out some of the open houses in Fenny and not one sales person said Hello, or thank you for coming, or do you have any questions to anyone that came in. They spent more time on their phones and unless you needed to ask a question they seemed annoyed that they had to stop what they were doing to respond. Really? Just very surprised as you would think they would be more welcoming to all that were there to view these homes and make a sale and they did this to everyone that was there.

Welcome to today's world - the cell phone is more important than a real live person one foot away from you.

Andrew McMurtrie was also our agent. We found him to be excellent at follow up and maintained contact with us periodically for two years before we finally moved here.

I doubt he would have ignored you.

I find that a little hard to believe. There is very limited service in Fenney and phone calls and text messages are difficult to make. You actually went to every open house today or maybe just a few?

OP, I am surprised because we go to open houses occasionally and always found the sales agents eager to answer questions, helpful and very attentive. It’s likely today that you ran into a couple of very busy sales agents and they didn’t give you the attention you deserved. Hopefully, your experience will be different next time you go to an open house.

We were at 5 open houses, and other people made the same comment as well when we were walking out with them.

We go to open houses as well and most are very nice and usually greet people has they walk in. We have been here for 7 yrs in TV and just saying the sales people at Fennny were not engaging with the people walking thru.

I know Fenny is far but I didn't think it was THAT far!

I have found the same. Agents have been eager to help.
