40 E-mails, 5 RSVP's, 0 Actually Show

[Caroline Hedin]

We FINALLY listed both of our houses for rent and received an insane amount of interest.  I have responded to more than 40 e-mails.  Due to the interest, we decided to hold an open house for each of the properties.  The nicer and larger one was on Friday night from 6:00-7:30, the small one was today from 11:30-1:00.  I hade confirmation from 5 people they would be there.  No one showed up at either.

This morning, I received a phone call from a company that finds houses to rent for people and after informing her that we would not be paying a commission, I would be available from 1:10-1:30 but absolutely had to leave by 1:30.  She said great and they would meet me there.  At 1:20 I called the number and was informed they were still 30 minutes out.

What is going on?
