Good reminder Melody. I do lots of things that other agents do not always like, because my clients request it or simply because it's the right thing to do.

Mel,

How is it going?  Good reminder for all agents, sometimes we feel the need to give a helping hand to our fellow agents, but its important to follow the rules for everyones safety. 

Well said.  I am glad you found my rant blog!  You will see where I barry the bones vent and get advice.

Mel thanks for the blog!

Fernando you made a great point--Its about following the rules and when you do you, you protect the client and yourself!

Had to come back and tell you. I got a call from the owner of one of my listings that told me when she got to the house that the back door was wide open. The last Realtor to show the place that day, didn't even close the door much less lock it.

That is so inconsiderate.  I hope you brought it up to the Realtor.  She may not realize what a 'sin' it is.

Melody, we have the magic lockboxes that log in your arrival and if you just turn over the key to the next agent, they miss having to log in.  We're pretty careful about putting the key back.  It's good that your colleague was!

Melody,

I never thougt of this before. Thank you so much for reminding me.  Patricia, you are right about the log-in but again I forgot. We really are thinking only of helping the next realtor. This could really get us in trouble.

Good story!  Don't let other agents push you around, just so they'll "like" you.  Do what you know is right.
