When I was looking to buy a house recently, I applied on a popular real estate website to see a house. The agent they put me in touch with asked if we could talk on the phone. Conversation went like this:
Agent: Yes, this home remains available and qualifies for the No Down Payment Program.
Questions?
Me: I'd like to visit it. Tomorrow, if possible, but most mornings this week work
Agent: Working with any agents?
Me: I am not. I was under the impression that the website would put me in contact with an available agent. If you're not available, that's ok! It emailed me two agents
Agent: I was simply asking a question due to ethics. You're not looking for quality with the biggest investment of your life. The average REALTOR sells 6 houses a year and most are part time. All the best OP!
At the time I was incredibly confused and chalked it up to him being incredibly rude, but now I'm wondering... did I do something wrong?
Eta: I responded with "I'm extremely confused. I just thought you were saying you were unavailable and I was trying to convey that that was fine." And he ignored me. Someone else from his company with the same last name emailed me later and asked if I was free to see the house, which I found odd, and turned down.
