When "appointment is necessary" is on the listing... - 04/21/09 09:00 PM
Usually when people put their home or other property on the market they do understand that there will be times when their agent calls and says "someone wants to look at your house...now."   Or, that there may, in fact, be times when a potential buyer knocks on the door and asks to take a look around.   And, most sellers do take these things with a grain of salt and look at it as part of the process of selling their property.
