With the low inventory, when a good one hits the market, most times we just meet at the house.

If I have people relocating from another area, they do ride with me though - for the entire tour and for showings.

Hardly ever do clients ride with us, as we usually 'meet' at a house or the office, and follow each other from there Paul S. Henderson, REALTOR®,CRS,.  In our case, Roger would have to take his SUV, as opposed to me driving my car.  One is so much easier to get in and out of!

Most agents no longer drive clients around in our area. It is far easier to meet them at the properties, especially if they have children which require child seats, or a timeline which may not work for an agent to drive them around.

It's still commonplace for me unless it's a local buyer and we are quickly meeting up to see one home. Otherwise, I like having them in my car... it builds relationships and we have time to discuss what we are seeing... since it's better not to do so inside houses these days as so many of them are "bugged" even if they are not supposed to be.

Yes, back when I started, it was the norm to drive around with buyers, but I think the fact that we all have GPS available to us has caused this to change.  Everyone is certainly more comfortable in their own cars, and it is becoming rarer for me to drive around a buyer.
