We just encountered an incredibly rude agent from John L. Scott Kent North. His name is Joe Llesis.
We attended an open house in West Seattle that he was sitting on behalf of another agent. Joe asked us to “sign in” - we said “we’d prefer not to” - then Joe said “I’m going to have to ask you to leave then”
I told Joe that this was bad business, and his reply was “yes, I know”. Then I asked him why he was REQUIRING open house attendees to sign in, he replied that it was because of COVID. I reminded him that Washington State has no such requirement, then Joe changed his story and said it was the seller who was requiring the sign in.
It is common practice for real estate agents to collect email addresses and phone numbers via their sign in logs. Because we are aware of this and already working with an agent, we didn’t want to be badgered by Joe so we declined to sign in.
John L. Scott, your agent Joe Llesis is not doing you any favors. Joe could benefit from some additional training regarding the manner in which he should represent your office.
