Professionalism at all times

By following unspoken rules of real estate, you can help your deals move along with much more grace. If you would like to submit an unspoken rule that you feel would be helpful to share, please send it to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.

Not following showing instructions could be a violation of the code of ethics. When a property is shown by “appointment,” always make an appointment. Public trust, your safety, and the safety of your clients must be your priority. If you see a lockbox, you may not use it without permission if an appointment is required - even if you have been there in the past and know it isn’t occupied. Catching a homeowner off guard can get you shot! Also, there may be an alarm code that is needed. Some sellers expect notice of a showing even on vacant properties. Remember that you can use a CBS (Call Before Showing) code on your lockboxes when placing them on occupied listings.  -Lesha Freeland, Keller Williams 4550100
