Where are my listings going? If they are going somewhere fun, sure I will go with them! 

None, the only thing scarier than one REALTOR® is two of them.

Depends. 

If I must, I would honor my promise. But if it is vacant, I'd leave supra for everyone's convenience. 

Only rarely...when my client feels the need.

Probably a depends issue.

Though as a buyer I would really like it if sellers were available to answer questions at the showings.

Almost never. We are not a big Association and I know the vast majority of the agents and trust them. If I don't know them well I do know their brokers and will approach them if a problem arises.

the agents for whom I market will use lockboxes for everything...they will accompany if the seller asks that it be accompanied.... they will OFFER to accompany their new construction, and that offer is usually welcomed!!

No only on a second showing or if they request it. Do you accompany all of yours Jeff?

By accompany do you mean attend every showing by other agents?  Not the norm in my market.

Love Michael Thacker | Realtor | Real Estate Professional Louisville, KY Homes for Sale & Marketing comment.  Party time, yes!

Jeff,

We always did, it is the nature of commercial real estate.  We kept the keys.  In luxury real estate, it is the same here in Santa Barbara, and other areas where estates are for sale.  A

It really depends on the seller. I have a great deal who request and or demand accompanied showings. Most of my bank owned listings though are unaccompanied unless the property has a feature or issue that requires me there

If seller requests.

A few times on high end listings when my seller requested I be there.

Prefer none but there are a few exceptions!

Jeff Dowler CRS I am not in favor of accompanied showing. That may restrict some showings for my listings and that's not in the best interest of my clients.

Only the upper brackets ones that have some combination of Picasso on the walls, Realtor eating dogs for pets and tricky alarm systems.  And I get out of the way and let the buyer broker do his or her job.

No, it's not expected or customary in my market.

None

Only on high end listings.  That is expected there.

In my market it's not common practice for the listing agent to accompany showings. 

No, I don't accompany other agents when they show my listings.  I would if a seller requested.

Close to never. I think I only had one seller in 10 years ask me to do "Listing Agent Must Accompany" because it was a CIA person and security was a concern.

I've never done that.  It isn't the custom here.

Jeff, I am not sure I understand the question.  I do however find humor in Michael Thacker | Realtor | Real Estate Professional Louisville, KY Homes for Sale & Marketing comment.

If you are referring to showings on my listings ... the answer is rarely. 

I don't accompany unless it is a open house

Only when the seler requests it!

All of my luxury listings, and usually someone on the team attends showings for any of our listings.

Some.

I accompany when the sellers ask, as it can get to be a scheduling nightmare.

Jeff - I never accompany showings unless that is something my seller wants.

Jeff,
Only in special circumstances, luxury properties, some divorce situations, etc.

I accompany no showings on my listings at least right now.  I did have a listing a couple years ago (a higher end home) where the seller asked that I be in the home.

Depends on if seller requests or if it's a $1.5M +

It always depends.

I accompany some.   A complicated security system.  Lots of doors.  Pets.   This is discussed and agreed upon at the listing appointment.   

Always present at a showing with exceptions

Jeff Dowler CRS Here in my area working commercial real estate, it is a common practice.

None so far

Haven't done this since I left NYC in 1998 when we accompanied all showings. Just not done here in Charlotte except in very, very high end listings and then only when the seller requests it.

 Good morning Jeff Dowler CRS Why would a listing agent want to be present for showings other than an open house?

Good morning Jeff. I do not accompany the showings on the homes that we flip, someone that works for me handles that.

all of them

No.

No, the other agent is there. 

none

I am present for every showing of a home for which the owner hired ME to help sell their home.
