One of my peers did a tongue in cheek post about LOOKY LOO TOUR GUIDE RULES,

I have to admit it as pretty funny.  I started to comment on her brilliance to find a way to create a form. (seriously just kidding, I like her idea and may create my own version to have signed).  What I really like about her writing was the stereo-type many agents are thinking about 'buyers'.

I have to admit the ticket price for her tour seems a little low but in the spirit of giving the buyer what they pay for, it may be a good deal.

As a Disclaimer:  I am not a tour guild, never have been, never will be.  I have looked at properties with customers that weren't quite ready to buy.   I have to say I enjoy doing so with the following rules* in place.

*Rules are subject to change depending on my mood are in no particular order of importance.

Lookie Lou, be on time and in a good mood (bring your checkbook).  I will drop you like a hot potato(e) when I get any of the following: Calls or Requests from Clients, Friends, Family, Peers, Strangers, etc...  Other than that I am all yours- let's go.

If/when we see something I like, I am selling it.  It may be to you, it may be to someone else. (You might want to get your pre-qualification letter in hand just in case you want to make an offer)  I have no problem calling other clients while you are in the house.  I have been known to sell while you were 'thinking' about it.

That bit about me being a TAXI is so old school.  You drive, I prefer clean vehicles anyway.

Lunch/Supper Meal is not optional- I pick the restaurant, you pay the bill, I'll leave the tip! 

Addresses and Driving Directions are no charge if you pre-view on your own first.  (You don't expect me to go look at a property that you won't even take the time to drive by, do you?

)

I love the Lookie Lou's of the real estate world.   Be nice to me and you may just get to see  first-hand how much fun it can be to  say "just looking"

FYI--I never treat all my clients the same, my favorites get to bring me closing gifts when I give them the keys to the Dream Home.

Hi Cheryl, I like *Rules are subject to change depending on my mood are in no particular order of importance"  You are funny.  Also, the buying lunch part is a very good idea!!  Thanks for a different take on "the tour bus" !!

Mary, Congrats on the feature!  There are always more then one way to look at any stereo-type situation.  I like to have fun and enjoy.  It is never a waste of time to open a door (and it is easier than burning a bridge)  be good  cw

I have a Lookie Lou coming to see houses this week. She told me in advance she will be touring with several other agents in several other counties. Doing a whirlwind tour of homes so they can decide where to move to for retirement. Since many are my own listings, I am ok to go and lookie lou them with her and the Hubbie Lou'er. I do believe most likely it will be a non-dollar producing activity but like the lotto, there is always a chance things could turn out for the better. I guess that is the hook that Lookie Lou's know so well how to bait.

Can this rule be applied to other areas of life as well? The "rules are subject to change" thing?  I can think of several instances that I might like to use that...

Mary-hopefully you will get to work with them first and get a buyers agency contract signed.

Marilyn- these aren't "new" to me, just the way I roll.

Marantino-  'subject to change" isn't that what this world is all about?  I am all about sharing ideas.  BYW-awesome job on the nature stuff- I can see some copy write infringement on my part coming soon.-
