present at another agent’s showing. Not because we don’t care (we do), but because we believe buyer agents should be free to do their job, not wait for us to squeeze them into our calendars.
The right answer to this question?
“We use a secure combo box and trust licensed buyer agents to show your home without unnecessary interference. That way, we maximize every showing opportunity—and you don’t lose buyers to scheduling ping-pong.” Because frankly, your home deserves more than missed showings and mysterious scheduling conflicts disguised as “professionalism.” 2. Do You Require Pre-Approved Buyers for Showings? Your time and security are valuable. Allowing unverified buyers to tour your home is a risk you don’t need to take.
A professional agent will insist on pre-approved buyers only.
3. What’s Your Stance on Open Houses? Open houses might seem like a way to drum up interest, but they’re often just opportunities for agents to collect buyer leads—not a genuine strategy to sell your home. If your agent insists on holding open houses, ask how they plan to screen visitors and ensure your security. A client-centric agent will prioritize your safety by ensuring no one gains access without being pre-approved. Many open houses are staffed by inexperienced agents or those relying on outdated tactics. If your agent’s best marketing plan involves sitting in your home and handing out business cards, it’s time to reconsider who you’ve hired.
