What is it with Realtors who drive around with their clients, see a yard sign and then go up and knock on the door and ask to be let in? What is it with homeowners, who open the door and let these folks in with nothing more than a business card and a "Can we see your house"?
Realtors -- You don't know the price, you don't know the status (Active, Pending, whatever), you just roll over and do tricks because your client in the car says, "I wanna see that one." Where is your common decency to make an appointment and find out a little about the house like, is this in the price range for my client? Why not just make a quick phone call to the phone number on the sign if you're too lazy to look it up in the MLS or call the showing service?
Homeowners -- Do you realize you're opening your door and letting a total stranger (possibly two or three total strangers) into your house without notice? No one knows they're in your home but you!
I tell my clients all the time that they need to get the call from me or the showing service I use. There are wackos out in the world that look for "For Sale" signs. This is also the way I can keep track of people who have seen your house so I can call them back with the price reduction you've offered or the agent bonus you've offered. It's the way I can tell you if one person or ten have seen your house.
Realtors -- Wouldn't you like to get the call that the Seller has just dropped the price $50,000??? Wouldn't your client love you? Too bad, you lose. You didn't call.
PS..Can you tell I'm a little miffed by this.....
