Why on earth would someone set hours for their own open house and show up two hours late?  I really don't get that.

I doubt MLS would do anything about it, but it could be considered a violtation of Truth in Adverising, and its unethical and unprofessional.

Chris - Not sure it is a violation of the MLS, but I would certainly call the agent, and depending on what they said, call their broker as well. It is just unprofessional, and puts a bad light on our profession.

Chris Mamone It may not be a violation of the MLS guidelines - however, it does reflect on the agent who was 'MIA'!

Not a violation, there is no "punishable" MLS attendance requirement (one can get sick or be involved in a accident at anytime), except for the expectations of the public/client. Best to have contingency plans like an on call agent to serve or simply post a notice on the door and/or Internet.

 

This agent should change her starting time to 1 p.m.

In what capacity are you working with this agent? That's just unacceptable and I wouldn't have anything to do with this agent. If you have a broker in common, I would certainly bring that up. Gives the brokerage a bad name.

Not really a violation, just unprofessional. Im sure that if the homeowner finds out, they would be upset. That's the kind of thing that gives real estate agents a bad name.

Why doesn't the person post the correct hours?  That is so dumb and such a poor decision.  It's bad for her clients and the buyers as well as that person's reputation and ability to attract future clients.  Very dumb.
