LOL, I actually had someone about a year ago do that to me. Then, a week later, call me up and ask to reschedule. I told her no way-- there are 1200 agents in our association and the property has a lockbox, pick another one.

There's little  excuse for such a lack of courtesy... and the next question that arises is, should they eventually show up and opt to write an offer, how challenging will it be to continue to communicate? 

Why are you meeting them at the home and not at the office?

I have found that when folks miss a meeting and dont repond to calls that they never will respond.  Make a note to watch for their name and number and dont schedule any wasted time with them again until they have paid their retainer.

You left out "attempted entry". 

I leave after checking doors and windows, after all, I had an appointment, it's not breaking and entry. 

No answer? I leave after my attempts and move on to the next house.

I would wait 15 minutes.

If you're talking about a buyer, I tell them upfront when we first meet that my time frame for waiting if they are late and don't notify me of that fact is 15 minutes. After that I'm gone. They know "the rules of the game" upfront.

If they are new and you don't know them they have no relationship with you they probably don't care. 15 minutes maximum.

We meet clients at the office to either have them meet with a lender or to bring their current pre approval.  After they show they qualify is when we discuss their upcoming home purchase which includes properties that they will be shown based on their wants, needs and ability to buy.  We call them the day before to confirm the showing appointment and have never had a no show. 

If someone is so rude as to not show up they need to find another agent.  Things do happen so the excuse had better be a good one if they no show.

Depends on my relationship with the client.  I might wait as long as 30 minutes... (grumbling under my breath most of the time)... but prepared to smile when they drive up with the "my cell battery died, and the baby had an explosion" excuse.

In our part of the country there may not be cell service so I wait 30 minutes and then lock it up.  A 30 minute wait is reasonable to me, since I had a flat tire on the way to a showing it took me 30 minutes to get it fixed and on my way.  Fortunately the buyers waited and understood the delay upon my arrival.

Text or call letting them know if I don't hear anything from them by 1:15 I will be leaving. -Kasey

15 minutes is the grace given

 In the cell phone age?   10 or 15 minutes.

I'd wait 15 minutes

15 minutes. This is a good reason to meet everyone at your office.

15 minutes,

Nathan Gesner I would wait until 1:15 p.m.

15 minutes!

Normally 15 minutes then i am off. I like to call and confirm the day of an appointment for any made in advance. 

Nathan,

15mns.

If they don't respond to a call or text, I'm gone!  No excuse in this day and age.

15 minutes is the old college rule.

10 mins unless you know there has been a crash in the area. 

10 minutes is all I wait for anyone without a response.  I don't even wait for my doctor or dentist beyond 10 minutes. 

15 minutes and then a voice mail to reschedule! This time meet me at the office and we will ride together to save time!

15 minutes normally.

It depends. 15-30 minutes. If I have something I can work on while i'm waiting, I might wait a little longer.

Traffic can be a bear here during season and between bridge openings and the train a 2 mile trip can take an extra half hour at times. I'll give them at least that much and always bring a tablet to keep busy while in wait mode.

Yep, 15 mintues of absolute silence is the limit.

I then follow that with sending a bill to the broker. $250 fee for failure to cancel. 

15 minutes tops. I'm not hanging around waiting for somebody that doesn't show respect for our time.

15 minutes.

15-20 minutes...

I'll wait 15 minutes

I call beforehand about a half hour to an hour to confirm and follow up with a text saying confirming our showing time and saying I need to hear back or I will assume we are not meeting. If they are still meeting me I hear back. This save a bundle of time and frustration.

I wait 20 min. if I have the time.  Then they better have a great reason if they call back

I agree with the majority  15 minutes.  If thye have not contacted you, then they probably just went another direction.   IF they call and say they are running 30 minutes late, I accomodate if I dont have another appointmetn schedules elsewhere.   I usally text after 5 -10 minutes, saying I'll wait another 5.  Many clients are late when they have little kids etc, but most are courteous enough to call/ text. 

Is this your first showing with this buyer, Nathan Gesner ? If yes, I will wait 15 minutes and that's it. I've dealt with quite a few no show for leasing and I will not tolerate anyone who is irresponsible. At least a courtesy phone call to let your agent know that they change their mind or running late. 

I would not set another appointment for them in the future.  There is no excuse for lack of communication.

15 min past scheduled time without a reply.  However, I would text and advise agent that I am leaving property and they will have to reschedule.

15 minutes, then I'm out.

Having been in this position in the past, I leave after 10 minutes.

I'd give it 15 minutes and then I'm pissed....

I try to meet at the office.  And I would never meet at a house first time.  Have to sort the lookers from the buyers.

Didn't you meet them first? This hasn't happened to me in years

It depends.

On the client.  

Do I know them?  First time "out"?   Is it my listing? 

On me.

How much time do I have.  How's my mood that day?  Is it my listing?   

Nathan Gesner - I usually call ahead to make sure they are on time. If not, maybe 15-20 minutes? Though I'd expect them to contact me if they are running late.

It would depend on my relationship with the Buyer, but in this day and age where nearly everyone has a cell phone, I would wait 15-20 minutes and leave.

Never had it happen Nathan Gesner I account for no shows and last minute cancelations in my buyer agent agreement.  I also like Candice A. Donofrio answer 

Just leave. If they don't have the courtesy to answer their phone, call or text you to say they're running late, you certainly don't want to be selling them a house.

When I get there and they are not there I call them and let them know I'm there and I wait 15 minutes and if I find something to do and I wait another 15 minutes and after that I am gone you have to respect my time my time is important

Sounds like you have to be at the showing.  I would only wait 15 minutes, especially if you tried calling/texting.  RUDE!

I wait 10 minutes and move on

15 Minutes !!

If there's no response, don't waste your time. There may be legitimate delays, but no excuse for not communicating.

max 15 mins.

Typically 15 minutes, unless there are some extenuating circumstances.

It depends on a few things- how busy I am, how well I know the people (1st time meeting them/higher default rate), if they answered the call/text I sent before the appointment & the one after asking if they were still coming. Wash, Rinse, & don't Repeat.

After 10 minutes - text to advise leaving in another 5 minutes if no response...

15 or 20 minutes. 

At 5 minutes after, I call to see where they are. If the call goes to voice mail, I leave a message that I'm at the property and to please call me back with their ETA. I text also. Then I call one more time to check and let them know I'll need to leave if I don't hear from them asap. Then I leave.

If they call me at some point with a valid reason, I'll give them another shot.
