It is up to the broker to take time to decompressed.
Of course, they do know that. But crap, when is the "time"-if M-F is "biz hours" and the weekends/ eve's are when the client's who work biz hours are available?

I'm not crying, but this is a major cultural issue-not just for realtors (I'm not, just very attached to one) but to all of us with cell phones. We are slaves to the tech. People expect that because the device is on we're obligated to acknowledge. Its to the point that my s/o and I are drafting a doc on what her clients can expect and what she expects in return.

Believe me, I know what time pressures people operate under. But at some point we need to take control.

z, I get what you're saying, you had a friendship first. Imagine if you didn't...

Sorry all for the drift, rant off.
