Yes, if I'm showing for a back-up OR if someone wants to hone in on a particular neighborhood/complex and wants to see the quality of the homes there. I did that with one yesterday, in fact!

No, not usually. Unless I have a buyer who is "really interested" and the listing agent says it's worth showing for a backup offer.

Yes, Paul I do show homes with a contingent contract on them, IF there is a kick out to the contingency.

If a client wants to see a back up offer, we go and see it.

We don't do contingent unless it is to close. I don't bother with them.

Nope. Try not to put effort into spilled listings. 90% of our sales are list 'em, sell 'em so we do know how tight or loose the deal is going up close and personal and whether the back up buyer should be placed on deck in the green circle. Like a call to the bull pen for a relief pitcher. Sometimes you need to consider another route.

Almost never... I learned a long time ago that there is nothing worse than a buyer falling in love with a house they can't have at the end of the day. I can't think of the last time a buyer wanted to see a contingent home... in a fast moving market they just want to find a home they can buy and not waste time on properties that will most likely not become available to them.

No, not in any market. But, have not seen a Contingent status since 2012 here, distressed properties are rare here because most got their equity back and then some.

It depends what the conditions are, and how long they are for. I also call the lsiting agent to see if he/she can shed some light on the situation. If it looks like it may fall through, then of course I will show it, and perhaps even submit a back up offer conditional upon the first one becoming null and voide for failint to meet conditions.

Only if buyer absolutely must see them in person and is willing to make a backup offer. Otherwise, we will monitor to see if it comes back on the market and then see it (rarely happens).

Most of the time no as I don't want to disappoint buyers. However, I have called listing agents to let me know if the deal falls through.

I don't but sometimes call the agent to let me know if the home should come back on the market. We see about a 25% fallout rate.

In our market "Contingent" (or more accurately "Active Under Contract") might as well say "Sold". No one EVER shows them, unless they're taking a potential seller to see how their house compares to it.
We used to have a "Back-up Offer" status ("CYB") back in the day and that would get showings. With the new board rules out here, I doubt I'll ever take a contingent offer again since even thought it says you can keep it on the market, you have to put it as under contract, which means no one will show it.

I try not to unless the listing agent gives me some indication that the deal may fall through.

Usually no. If there is nothing else i may call and ask what the contingencies are and what the odds are of coming back on the market. but i try to sway buyers away from false hope

Sometimes, yes. If it's a perfect buyer match. I have been know to undo someone's else deal and get the house in the end.... 😈

If the house is something the buyer is compassionate about, you bet I do!
Buyers often witness a miracle.
If I'm the listing agent....YOU BET I DO!
Nothing keeps a buyer sane like knowing there's a backup waiting for them to do something stupid.
