I DO NOT BELIEVE THAT THIS HAS ANYTHING TO DO WITH LACK OF LOYALTY, but basic consumer-habit. I provide a trackable site for search and ask that they use that, and they do, but they also use a lot of other sites and services. There is good information on Trulia and Zillow that they should look at, and there are sites that promote open houses, and any of these can be rabbit holes to find new information and maybe new sites. We (real estate agents) can be quick to think that this is breaking some form of loyalty (and this request to show a property IS crossing that line for sure), but when I shop airfare, I'm on six to ten sites myself. That's a $300 purchase. The emotions of the marketplace right now are pretty super-charged, and with a week like last week (rates going from 4.75% to 5.8% in 16 days, then back to 5.3%?) buyers - especially the first-timers - can be given a little slack for freaking out and thinking that they're days of buying a deal are getting precarious.<br><br>None of this takes away from the macro-point that you make: that a part-time anything is a part-timer.

I have the code of ethics memorized starts beating you down. Great response to them!! It always makes me chuckle. <br><br>I started out my career as a part time agent while carrying a M-F 9-5 job. It was hard. I did set expectations up front with my clients as to my availability -- luckily at that stage of my career it was mostly friends and family members. It was incredibly hard to juggle  it all and luckily Real Estate got busy enough for me to ditch the other job and make RE my full time career. Now I wish there were more hours in the day to get everything done! My guess is the agent was a friend or family member of the client (as others have guessed as well) and the buyer thought they were doing their friend a favor by having you show them the home. You know, saving them time and all. <br><br>I have a lady who has called me now 3 times wanting to see a home -- not my listing -- that her sister-in-law THE REALTOR found for her. But she lives so far away, the lady laments. But yes, when I question her, the sister-in-law will be the one writing the contract. Well, perhaps the sis-in-law should make the drive to show you the home since she's the one representing you and thus getting the commission.

It never ceases to amaze me when I find listing agents who still figure all they need to do is get a listing agreement signed, post the listing on MLS (often without even 1 photo) and stick a sign out in front of the property. You have to chase them down to extend offers and get signed copies of docs for your file. I called on 20 properties for a client, 9 of the agents didn\'t bother to return my calls. Then there are the buyer\'s agents who get a signed buyer/broker agreement, point their clients to the <a href="http://REALTOR.com" rel="nofollow">REALTOR.com</a> site and to some open houses, never explain anything about the home-buyer procedure, but want a commission if the buyer requests assistance from another agent. <br>There are some very dedicated part-time agents who work diligently and ethically for their clients and some really lousy full-time agents who are only interested in making a commission. Fortunately, with the downturn in the economy and housing market, there are at least fewer of them out there.</div>\

Not only is this a bad representation of our profession, but it reflects on the reputation of the Broker who is "The Agent".  If nothing else, the Broker-In-Charge could find an alternate during the licensees unavailable hours.<br>A wise man once told me "..as a real estate agent, we should provide the best service that we can provide to our client.

I DO NOT BELIEVE THAT THIS HAS ANYTHING TO DO WITH LACK OF LOYALTY, but basic consumer-habit. I provide a trackable site for search and ask that they use that, and they do, but they also use a lot of other sites and services. There is good information on Trulia and Zillow that they should look at, and there are sites that promote open houses, and any of these can be rabbit holes to find new information and maybe new sites. We (real estate agents) can be quick to think that this is breaking some form of loyalty (and this request to show a property IS crossing that line for sure), but when I shop airfare, I\'m on six to ten sites myself. That\'s a $300 purchase. The emotions of the marketplace right now are pretty super-charged, and with a week like last week (rates going from 4.75% to 5.8% in 16 days, then back to 5.3%?) buyers - especially the first-timers - can be given a little slack for freaking out and thinking that they\'re days of buying a deal are getting precarious.<br><br>None of this takes away from the macro-point that you make: that a part-time anything is a part-timer. Forget the doctor or lawyer argument, I wouldn\'t go to a part-time ski tech, mechanic, electrician or landscaper. As a full-time professional, I share your frustration with having to dedicate loyalty to a large client base AND politely re-direct pseudo-leads back to their place of origin. It takes a lot of time and it distracts my focus. There is nothing worse than a "lead" that is not a "lead. Kind of like my listing I showed last Wednesday that came in through <a href="http://Realtor.com" rel="nofollow">Realtor.com</a> and in the three hours in-between they had lunch and signed an agency agreement with a different agent. <br><br>Moving on..!<br><br>&lt;abbr&gt;<em></em>&lt;/abbr&gt;&lt;abbr&gt;<em>Benjamin Day&#180;s last blog post..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/typepad/VDgI/~3/1uXWEUajheE/2655-silent-rain-drive-colorado-springs-co-80919-248000.html" rel="nofollow">2655 Silent Rain Drive, Colorado Springs, CO 80919: $248,000</a></em>&lt;/abbr&gt;</div>\

What amazes me is how many home searchers come to our site and when they chose to save a search, they put "My agent referred me here" in the box for "how did you find us?".<br><br>And that\'s OK. I don\'t care who uses our home search. Personally though, I can\'t imagine directing a client to another local agent\'s site. And if I were a home buyer, I\'d have to sit back and think "Huh, why is MY agent sending me to some other agent\'s site to look for homes? Shouldn\'t I be able to look for homes on my agents site?"<br><br>What I *really* don\'t get is why these agents that do this don\'t just use the tools available in the MLS to set their clients up on a direct search? The only thing that even remotely makes sense is that they don\'t know how to do that. And there again, if I were a client, I\'d have to question my agents capability.</div>\

Check out the good REO\'s and within a few days, these listings have multiple offers.  So maybe they opt for a short sale instead.  Is this agent willing to follow up weekly for weeks/months to make sure the offer doesn\'t fall though the cracks?

	 <div id="dsq-comment-message-12487795" class="dsq-comment-message">Jay, I have been following your blog consistently over the past couple of months, and I just absolutely love it when Mr. or Ms. Anonymous a.k.a. I have the code of ethics memorized starts beating you down. Great response to them!! It always makes me chuckle. <br><br>I started out my career as a part time agent while carrying a M-F 9-5 job. It was hard. I did set expectations up front with my clients as to my availability -- luckily at that stage of my career it was mostly friends and family members. It was incredibly hard to juggle  it all and luckily Real Estate got busy enough for me to ditch the other job and make RE my full time career. Now I wish there were more hours in the day to get everything done! My guess is the agent was a friend or family member of the client (as others have guessed as well) and the buyer thought they were doing their friend a favor by having you show them the home. You know, saving them time and all. <br><br>I have a lady who has called me now 3 times wanting to see a home -- not my listing -- that her sister-in-law THE REALTOR found for her. But she lives so far away, the lady laments. But yes, when I question her, the sister-in-law will be the one writing the contract. Well, perhaps the sis-in-law should make the drive to show you the home since she\'s the one representing you and thus getting the commission. Oh and did I mention that the home is a foreclosure that will not qualify for FHA or conventional financing, only cash...of course which she doesn\'t have...</div>\

The funny part is, if these people get to you on the phone, they usually start out by defending their agent and his/her busy schedule-and it\'s not just the part timers; many high profile agents just don\'t seem to have time to show their "clients" property.  Even with the number of stellar agents available who are willing to attend to their clients\' every need,  these customers choose to work with with agents who provide marginal service at best.  Who taught these consumers to have such low expectations of real estate professionals?</div>\

And then I think of how much of my job is done in the evenings and weekends, to accommodate my working clients\' hours.  I think that as a community and profession, we need to realize that there are many agents that have taken on second jobs to keep their homes and feed their families.  We live in challenging times, and (call me Pollyanna) we need to work together to support each other and our clients. <br>I know this is bit off-point, but I think there is so much more to being an excellent agent and good match for a client, than whether a Realtor is full or part time.<br><br>&lt;abbr&gt;<em></em>&lt;/abbr&gt;&lt;abbr&gt;<em>Dru Bloomfield&#180;s last blog post..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/AtHomeInScottsdale/~3/X2tHmXPQaaM/" rel="nofollow">Waking up to Beauty</a></em>&lt;/abbr&gt;</div>\
