My wife and I spent countless weekends looking, then finally found a place we could agree on. It was a new development with a nice, well-appointed sales center, and had some choices as to lots with the model that we wanted. Financing was all approved, and we were as ready as we could possibly be. After our third time going to the development and having nobody show an interest in our purchase, we found our eventual home on the drive back. If anybody had simply asked us if we were interested in buying the house, we would have done it. You know me.... I'm a salesguy. I couldn't believe it. That's why I'm always checking back with you!! :)<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('547','Paul Buerk'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('547','Paul Buerk','Al, I\'ve had a similar experience when I bought my current house.

Sales people HATE follow up. I think it’s because of their innate fear of rejection. I always say if someone gives you their information it’s just like an invitation so call, write, email and do so until they say stop. Best of luck in your home search!

That's like mystery shopping, even though you're serious. I wonder how they would have responded if they had known who you were. Cannot wait to see who suddenly responds to you because they found their name on your blog. Thanks for the great reminder about sales and follow-up.
