A realtor (not our realtor) showed our house last night. Can we contact them or should our realtor??
Another realtor from a different agency showed our house last night. It was the second showing for some interested buyers. Our realtor can be somewhat lazy in contacting or calling us back. Would it be wrong to contact the other realtor for feedback on the showing?? Should contact always go through our realtor??

You want to call directly to THE REALTOR REPRESENTING AND TRYING TO GET THE BEST DEAL FOR HIS BUYER directly? What for? To tell them that you're ready to drop your price? That you can re-paint if they'd like? TO GIVE THE IMPRESSION THAT THEY'VE REALLY GOT THE UPPER HAND NOW?

I'd recommend that you don't call the other agent. Do call your agent and ask him/her to follow up.

A second showing indicates interest. Don't tip your hand that you "need" this buyer - unless that is your intention. If you actually are getting desperate, then have your agent "leak" this information to the other agent (your agent is allowed to disclose information that you allow)

I'm a Realtor in AZ. You can contact them but then your Realtor can feign ignorance for any contact he does not have. I'd get another Realtor if he's lazy. Talk to the guys broker.

I think the major issue here is not if you can or cannot contact the other agent, your issue is your own agent.

This is what you should do:

Call your agent and voice your concerns. Tell him/her that you expect him/her to call you back right away when you need him for something important like contacting another interested buyer's agent. Let him know that if he does not meet your expectation you will fire him.

Next ask him to contact the other agent and get the feedback.

If worst comes to worst, fire your agent and find another.

However if you decide to sell the house to the buyers you mentioned and you already fired your present agent, he/she could come after you for his portion of the commission as he could defend his possition that he/she was procuring cause of the sale.

This is my opinion and should not taken as legal advice. Good luck.

Yes, you should try to go through your Realtor. The other realtor will probably get agitated if you call directly. If your Realtor is not stepping up after explaining your concerns, fire him/her.

Yes, contact your Realtor via phone and email. Send a copy of your email to the top person at your Realtor office.

I had a problem with the web site not being set up with the correct information. The MLS sites some had incomplete information about our house. Our agent kelp saying that the computer person was out of the office on a personal leave.

After I sent the email to the Broker/Office Manager, president and the agency, things got rolling again.

It depends on the contract that you singed with your realtor. Typically, the buyer's realtor will contact your realtor if there is an offer.

Let your realtor do their job and do all the contacts with other agents. If you don't habe much faith in your realtor, talk to them about cancelling your mandate with them, wait a month, and sign up with someone else. Or, light a fire under your realtors *** and tell them flat out you want to cancel the mandate and sell the home yourself, because you don't think they are working hard enough for the commission. We got lucky and have a GREAT realtor team, a husband and wife. They're awesome about everything, and very timely.
Most contact should go thryu your realtor, and some realtors may be hesitant about talking to you because of "ethical" reasons pretaining to making their $...

of course y ou should, dont leave the fate of selling ur home in that lazy s.o.b. hands. call the other broker, follow up and ask how the showing went and if there pretty interested. it doens't hurt to find out, if anything it might push your broker to make that sale! good luck!

You should always go through your agent, always. They work for you, put-em to work and as with any employee if they are not doing the job fire them.
