When was the last time the guy at the golf shop put you in his car and spent hours driving you around to go try out clubs?[/quote]
I guess they would if they’re trying to sell $500k golf clubs :-). I can’t speak for everyone, but I would much rather go see the places myself. Just give me the code. Would be nice if they establish a finger print system and anyone can go in if they want to and if the house is available for showing. Those who want their hands held can still pay for it. At this moment in time, there’s really not much option for those who don’t want their hands held.June 26, 2009 at 3:52 PM #421001Participant[quote=sdrealtor]LAFTER

SDR – I meant that when buying cars and clubs, you can go to any store that sells those items, and waste the salesmans time so they can show you a product and try and sell it to you, all the while knowing you are there to test the product out. The salesman makes no sale on showing you the product.

I don’t mind paying some fee for the privilege of showing. That is what I meant, and if sdr wants to interpret it otherwise, I am sorry. I think the Redfin guys are fully aware of this possibility, but it still doesn’t seem very fair to their agents.
