When our listing expired, our phone started ringing at 7:37 in the morning and kept going the entire day (18 realtors called. and we're on the DNC list!). Most of them asked me, "when are you going to re-list with someone who can actually sell your home?"
I found that extremely obnoxious, and was very happy to be able to tell them we were in escrow.

They should not have said that. I say 'I saw your listing expired. Have you relisted?' and if they say no, I ask if they are still interesting in moving.
I think I have the answer for the feeding frenzy folks who have a buyer for your house. I'm having fun with this! I tell them I'm thrilled they have someone who wants to buy my house. I have a NAR one time showing contract right in front of me and I would be happy to pay full commission. Please fax me your statement saying these buyers are prequalified for the mortgage and we can set up an appointment for say 3pm?????
They are dumbfounded and speechless at this point.

Well, not that i use that pitch myself, however I would just say, I dont think they would go for it without me seeing the home first, would 3:00pm still work for you? I can drop by if it works for you, maybe they cant think quick enough on their feet and you are right, if they are speechless, then they probably arent worth hiring at this point.

You're right! And no one yet has come up with the let me see it first line. And when one does, I'll let them see it and that's it unless they come up with the buyer. I'll let them waste their own time.
