Summary:
One of our property managers recently sent out a text message to tenants stating that she was going on three weeks’ vacation and not to contact her during that period. Unfortunately, she didn’t provide any backup instructions as to who to contact in her absence. A tenant ignored those instructions and directed a notice of intent to vacate to the manager while she was on vacation, but no one knew about it. Our client (the property owner) is angry at us, as they now have an unplanned vacancy. So, where do we stand with the tenant and with our client?

Summary:
Dear Coach: I have been a real estate broker for over 30 years. I am ready to start winding down my business so I don’t have to deal with this crazy market. The constant, multiple offers required when working with buyers is wearing on me. Thankfully, I have a fairly steady stream of referrals from past clients. It would be an even steadier stream if I called them once in a while. Suggestions?
