All professions certainly have individuals on both ends of the spectrum of professionalism, and many in between. I also think the barriers to entry in this industry are way too lacking. My advice? Interview, get references of past clients, etc. Of course this does nothing with regard to the agents showing your home. The most you can do is ask your agent/showing service to stress the time frame, etc. Thanks for the input! You’re right Rich.

I have a dog so an appointment is required but have had multiple no shows and no Realtor calling me to tell me they will not be coming by. This is very lazy to me since I have to go out of my way to make accommodations for my dog during the work week. I have also run into the showing Realtor and client showing up late. If you say you are coming by between certain hours then come by during those hours, not an hour after they said they would be there. I have also run into Realtors not leaving there business cards after they show and not returning any calls to my Realtor with any feedback. Very unprofessional in my opinion but with the Market flooded with lazy Realtors (not all) I guess it should be expected. I am not sure why half of these people even get paid, all they do is list a house on mls and then sit back and do nothing. *** This does not apply Gurvich group, but I am sure they would agree that the industry has way too many Realtors that are lazy and useless.
