This is great. I really had not considered this until the other day I read about a 6 year old that accidentally ordered some expensive items on Amazon via Alexa. I will definitely keep this in mind and make good use of this information.

Good morning Holly. This is brilliant and very important. I have also found it pays not to be judgemental as a buyers agent. You can lose a buyer quickly by voicing your opinion.

Like speeding, nothing to worry about if you are not. Professional agents, mum's the word buyers with poker faces. Got it.

Great post, Holly! Definitely another thing for Buyers and Agents to consider when they visit a listing. Best to play it safe! Thanks for bringing up this topic.

Great post! You must always be on guard when in a house with clients, especially more so now with technology.

I had a seller use a recording device last year - no sound though. The eventual buyers were very upset about it - but he really only had it set up for security.

The internet of things is real and is definitely something we should keep track of in the future. Great post!

Hi Holly, scary but it could happen. It's a conversation buyer's agents should have with their buyers.

Recording devices are as small as the head of a nail now a days...

Great reminder, and now with all these Amazon and Google things, who knows if they are picking this up!

My buyer clients are advised to say nothing while in the home ... and not anything outside the home. We wait until we are safely back in my car before discussing.

Showed a property the other day. The buyer and I texted while inside. Made for good notes for that particular property and included some photos. To think I fought txting in the beginning: my best notepad.

That is a GREAT idea, Theresa! I like the idea of the notes from the buyer, too.
I was thinking the same thing as I watched all those commercials for Echo and Alexa etc. It's a bit creepy and this is a good reminder to be aware: conversations may be recorded!

You are absolutely right! Buyers and their agents need to ZIP it until you are away from the property.

Great Reminder! Thanks for the post and I'll we more aware in 2017.

I've been tempted the bring duct tape for the buyers. Sometimes they spew an opinion that is off the wall. Especially people who think that they know what they are looking at, and they don't.

Whether good or bad comments, agents and clients need to keep their mouths shut during showings and talk afterwards in private.
