I showed a short sale today that only had one picture in the MLS. Not unusual, but since we just scheduled it today, my clients and me were going to get to see it at the same time, the good, the bad, and the ugly.
The first level wasn't bad...nothing to write home about, but kind of expected for a short sale. The home was vacant and winterized, so no water or lights.
Flashlights out, my clients, one of whom is pregnant, ventured down into the finished basement. Since the lighting was limited, it didn't look too bad until … (40 comments)

Most agents, including me, really prefer it when showing a home is as easy as can be.

My initial reaction was grumbling because it interfered with my scheduling appointments. They were adament though, no signed release, no combo code. It took about two hours before I was … (20 comments)
