Frustrations with AWOL agents!

The thing I hate most about being a realtor is dealing with agents and sellers who do not return phone calls regarding their property for sale. Why wouldn't an agent return calls when someone calls them regarding their listing? It makes sense to me! I'm in real estate because I enjoy it and it pays well. I've got buyers and we've made an offer on some acreage (we've faxed, emailed and called) and we cannot get a reply from the agent or the seller (I've left them messages at home and sent the offer in the mail)! I'm frustrated and hopefully, my clients (the buyers) won't think that I'm doing a bad job because of some bum who really shouldn't be a real estate agent! Ugh. May all bad agents go away please!
