But duel agency is definitely not legal in many states in most cases dealing with the majority of properties.

I recently posted a blog on one of the real estate networks about the limited viability of open houses insofar as the benefit sellers derive from them. Instead of sticking to the premise of the article, agents from all corners of the nation started sharing their personal stories about every open house they'd ever done. In doing so, they diluted the value of the article for potential sellers. Oh, how the truth hurts!

What other profession is it okay to make appointments and pull no call, no show without even blinking an eye. I don't really get how hard it is to spend 10 seconds to cancel a showing. My cat could do that. There time is no more valuable then mine. Its crazy for an agent who isn't mine to pull that but even crazier for my agent who works for us and has commented how unprofessional the no call, no show is to then do it to me. His excuse when confronted was " I had an appointment to be at." Really during the time you were scheduled to show my house to your client? So when did you know that you weren't going to make it. And why is your time and work more important then mine. UGH! Also- -Don't leave my door wide open when you leave and no one is home. People actually like to steal Apple computers and flat screens. -Can you turn off a light or two. I thought you supposed to try to turn off as many as you can. But you can't even get the one by the front door. Really? -If you let my cat out of the garage outside can you leave a note or something. So that I don't have to find my indoor cat walk around outside. -Show a an obviously modern house to someone who obviously wants a traditional house. -Don't know if you read the description were they mention modern or looked at the 18 pictures online or the 2 page color handout in the box outside but this is modern. -Come to the showing 40 minutes after it was supposed to end and just walk up in the house with the lock box key. How about calling to say you will be late and if its okay to show it. Too hard? How about knocking on the door before you walk in. - Calling 40 minutes before you want to show the house is so crazy. -Give us feedback. If you show my house I would like for you to take 30 seconds to let my agent in an email or phone call what they like didn't like. It might not mean much to you but it helps me not feel so bad for being up till 3 am cleaning walls if I get feedback. Good or bad. The list goes on. And I am sure there are some good ones out there but I have yet to meet one. I hate real estate agents because I have come across some that are the most unprofessional people I have ever meet.
