I'm at my wits end. My current (and only) listing is owned by a man that has turned out to be, for all intents and purposes, out of his mind. He calls me at all hours of the day or night to "remind" me to do things for him, to switch things around, to reschedule open-houses, etc. I've only had the listing for just shy of a month now, and have already done three..yes, THREE open-houses. It was only at this last one on Saturday that I managed to convince him that having so many, so close together WILL make him look despirate and that if people pick up on this they will "sit tight" until we do a price adjustment.
Additional Details
My main problem with this man is that while I was doing the latest open house, he drove around the neighborhood, picked up ALL of my signs and rearranged them (four of them being placed on a major road nearby..and I nearly got killed collecting them at the end of the day.) I told the guy not to move my signs, but he simply turned beet-red and screamed at me that I wasn't advertising enough, and that if I didn't put signs there on the main highway (especially) that all of his potential buyers wouldn't even know his house was there. He also DEMANDED that I shell out $500+ of my $ to buy him more directional signs to stick everywhere (most desperate actions) This is both unnecessary and completely non-affordable for me. The signs I must use are $25 apiece..he wants 20 more.This is getting really complicated and I just don't know how to handle it any more. How can I reason with this guy that I AM doing what is neccesary to sell his house, without causing him to request a withdrawal?
