PATHWAYS TO PROFESSIONALISM
The complete Pathways to Professionalism contain 33 points broken into three categories: Respect for the Public, Respect for Property and Respect for Peers. The Pathways also serve as a tool to remind agents of very basic rules of thumb to exercise courtesy in their day-to-day practice.
For a complete copy:
Inclement Weather and Upset Sellers
Use Sidewalks. If weather is bad, take off shoes and boots inside the property. Consider the use of shoe covers during inclement weather. Sellers have complained that after working hard to clean their homes for showings, they find it tracked-up with dirty footprints.
Please make sure that doors are locked when leaving showings.
Reports of doors left unlocked happen all too often. Sellers become especially irritated when their homes are left unsecured. These security breaches can cause irreparable damage to the trust that sellers place in REALTORS®.
