Keller Williams Realty

I contacted Kirk Godman from Keller Williams Realty in Vancouver, Washington a couple of months ago letting him know about my plan to move to southwestern Washington in a few months. He got back to me quickly, said he’d worked with people from out of state before, and seemed to be on board to help when the time came. Then he sent an email to a group of people letting us know he’d be out of the country enjoying Europe for a couple of weeks. About a month after my initial contact with Kirk, and after he supposedly returned from Europe, I sent another email asking him about a Letter-​writing campaign. I was curious if he’d ever done that before since there are hardly any listings in my price range and I haven’t been able to find anything suitable (I realize I’m not moving for months, however, I’ve continually searched online for a good idea of what properties are available in my price range).
I figured the direct approach, asking people if they’re interested in selling, and sending the letters to people in neighborhoods I already explored online would be a step in the right direction at finding something I really liked with the features I need (large backyard for four big dogs). I told Kirk I had done that in the past myself on my own, but in doing so had to tell the prospective sellers that if they didn’t want to use a Realtor, I would understand. I then told Kirk that that would not be the case this time, I would never ask him to write letters to people then go ahead with a deal without him.
Kirk has refused to respond since. I have sent three emails to him. So, either he’s dead, never returned from Europe (where I’m positive he could still access his email), or he’s just another arrogant Realtor who thinks by ignoring my email he’s making a point that he’ll never deal with anyone who has in the past purchased properties without the aid of a Realtor. I think it’s the latter. I don’t know if Keller Williams Realty only employs jerks like Kirk, but I’d be wary of them if I were you.
