Realtor Professionalism - Keeping Your Appointments

Greetings,

Keeping your appointments is a basic professional courtesy. Sometimes plans
can change, often because your buyer client can't make the appointment, but
it's critical to contact the seller's representative to let them know about
it. When the showing doesn't happen, the seller is often upset.

Under Section 3 of the Code of Ethics, it is up to you to treat everyone you
deal with in the course of a trade with fairness, honesty and integrity.
Failing to appear for a showing appointment affects not only the seller's
representative, but also the sellers, who likely took the time to prepare
the home and vacate the property to accommodate your buyer. That type of
conduct could lead to a complaint. If the behavior continues, it could lead
to disciplinary action.

The way you interact and operate with others in your daily work reflects
your level of professionalism. It's important to demonstrate the same
respect and professionalism toward clients and other registrants as you
would expect from them.

Registrants who demonstrate professional courtesy help maintain a culture of
mutual respect. That makes the real estate sector a better place for
everyone to work in.
