Kent Riddle Real Estate

We had Kent as a real estate agent for 7 months, and had one visit in all of that time. We originally chalked this up to having an unattractive property in a rural area in a bad economy and bad real estate market. However, a colleague at work was interested in buying our place, and called up Kent. Kent acted as if he didn’t know our place was even for sale, even when given the MLS number, and instead attempted to interest my colleague in other properties he had for sale. After a long conversation, he finally admitted my property was for sale, but said he didn’t know anything about it and would recommend his other properties.
After this incident, I switched realtors, had a lot of traffic and got an offer in three weeks after seven months of no activity, and no contact from Kent.
I’d strongly recommend making sure Kent likes you and your property before signing up with him. And having several people pretend to be interested in your property call him up and put him through the paces. Or, maybe it would just be easier to find a real estate agent that has heard of ethics.
