Is it OKAY to BOTHER other AGENTS on THANKSGIVING?

11-26-09
Kathy Schowe

I debated on whether to call a fellow Agent to ask about a property today. I have a client in town for the holiday and wondered if several of her homes were occupied over the weekend. Go direct, it says.... but maybe not over Thanksgiving. If it was my listing-- I would want the call-- and would do what I could to show the property. But I also have respect for my owners- and sure don't want to disturb them. What is the protocol for calling an Agent on a holiday?

Got a Listing from Blog on ActiveRain!

Well I wish I could say it was me... One of our amazing Team Members at the Lori Bowers Group got a great listing today directly from her blog on ActiveRain ! Tina must pack alot of punch in her blogs-- because her new client found her after only 39 BLOGS during the last year! He was dissatisfied with his current Realtor and told her he had done some extensive research on the internet. Her new listing found her ACTIVERAIN BLOG! I was so happy for Tina-- and also thrilled that clients can actually materialize from our diligence on ActiveRain....Now I am going to get some blogging pointers from Tina-- because I am on blog no. 157 and counting... and have not had a DIRECT HIT ! But, thanks to Tina, I am hopeful!

PS I TOLD TINA IF SHE WROTE ABOUT HER ACTIVERAIN SUCCESS STORY... SHE WOULD PROBABLY GET FEATURED!!

It's time to travel-- whether you are going to Grandma's house, Mom & Dad's, or travelling to see the kids over the holiday... and if you dread the trip to the airport-- here is a great video to help you calm down and enjoy your flight... or at least make it more pleasant! It really is true-- flying is far safer than driving!
