The following are some professional courtesies that every REALTOR should strive for. Using good manners is important in this business that is built on relationships. These 8 suggestions are all ways that show respect for property.
1. Be responsible for everyone you allow to enter listed property.
2. Never allow buyers to enter listed property unaccompanied.
3. When showing property, keep all members of the group together.
4. Never allow unaccompanied access to property without permission.
5. Enter property only with permission even if you have a lockbox key or combination.
6. When the occupant is absent, leave the property as you found it (lights, heating, cooling, drapes, etc). If you think something is amiss (e.g. vandalism) contact the listing broker immediately.
7. Be considerate of the seller's property. Do not allow anyone to eat, drink, smoke, dispose of trash, use bathing or sleeping facilities, or bring pets. Leave the house as you found it unless instructed otherwise.
8. Use sidewalks; if weather is bad, take off shoes and boots inside property.

Good list! Thanks for sharing.
Hi Anne, Good list although keeping all of them together sometimes just doesn't work !
HAHA Bill that's the truth! :)
Hi Anne !
Nice respectful list !
Hope you are well !
Sheldon :o)
Anne these are common courtesies but not all buyers understand that you don't treat someones house like a rental car from the airport.
I have recently heard of a Realtor® giving out combo codes to investor clients so they can view property without him. Trouble waiting to happen!
Hi Anne:
These are all great points!
How many times do people just cut through lawns....
One of my pet peeves is when a buyer thinks they can walk through someone's house, carrying a cup of coffee...
Anne, thanks those are very good things to follow and keeps the level of professionalism high.
As always, great job & very well put! Definitely something that Realtors and our clients need to remember at all times!
Great Post! Please follow me on twitter @davidperry and @daveperryrealty and in turn I will follow you. Together we can do great things if we all work together.
