[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Regarding safety:

"Also, there are safety issues in play, and I think agents need to be careful about meeting people they have never met"

Disclose to sellers prior to your agreement they'll need to provide a security guard for you to show the listing to unrepresented qualified buyers. The seller can sign with you, and pay for security. That is their choice. Or sellers can sign with another listing agent who does not require this.

This is hysterical.

A buyers agent previously would show a house to a buyer without anyone else there.

This is no different.

If now you’re unwilling to show a house without a security guard or other agent attending then you should have had this same stance 5 years ago.

You’re grasping as straws here as to why someone needs to pay 2% to let them into a house.  [/quote]

I didn't write the weird thing about the security guard.  At present, when I show a home, I am working with my buyers, who I have met and we have mutually interviewed.  Or I am running an open house in the middle of the day with an unlocked door and people coming in and out, and signage.  I take dozens of call from unknown people weekly and answer questions about property, but I do not, as a regular course of business, have to meet unvetted strangers at a vacant property.  So, I won't be doing that, and my clients will know that.  [/quote]
