What would you think if your Realtor did this?
Bring her baby with her to show you a house
Additional Details
Note: I am the Realtor in question and I have a two month old baby that I don't have a sitter for. I have a showing appointment in the morning and will have to bring her along. My customer and I have meet when I was pregnant and he expressed intrest in meeting her. I think it will be fine and I do appreicate your answers!

It wouldn't bother me at all. In fact it would show me just how dedicated my Realtor was to finding me a home.

Face it. Nobody wants to go to work with a baby in tow. That's like working two jobs at once. How easy would it have been for your Realtor to call you and say "Listen. I'm sorry but my sitter fell through. We're going to have to reschedule your seeing that house."

But your Realtor didn't. He/She packed up the diaper bag and kept her/his appointment. Now there's someone who wants to find you a house!

I personally wouldn't care, but you seem somewhat offended. As long as she is efficient and friendly, this should not be an issue.

I would not think too much of it. On contrary, I might even show her more respect if she showed up on time or was waiting for me upon my arrival. At least she did not call you up and say "sorry but can we reschedule because I could not find a babysitter" which is not your problem. She was able to solve a problem quickly and professionally. At least she did not waste my time or upset my schedule. If the baby was quiet and cute, then that is another bonus too!

Totally unacceptable.

As you've described the situation, I think it would be fine.

I would probably not do that with total strangers as it could seem unprofessional, and that could taint potential customer's views of doing business with you and/or whatever properties you're involved in.

With customers with whom you have a rappour, I think it would be fine.

I'm an agent in TN and I have a 7 year old daughter who is very polite and well mannered. During this past summer, I paid her to be my "assistant" and introduced her as such. I did, however, make arrangements for her when I needed to show a property to someone I had not met. I spent some time "training" her and she proved to be very efficient in writing down room measurements and helping me check and fill flier boxes. As far as bringing a baby along, I think that every situation is different and should be approached with care. But you should always give your client a "heads up" whenever you are in a situation where you have no other options and give them the option to reschedule if necessary.


say_tay
It would depend . During "standard working hours" no.. Was it late night? Short notice? Did she expain why the baby was there? Was her child with her at any of the paper signings?

I think the only way it would be acceptable is if a client called their Realtor and absolutely had to see a specific property at that moment which then the Realtor would explain she needs to bring the baby.

Bringing a baby along at any other time would not be acceptable at all. A Realtor is there for the client. End of story. They don't want to feel rushed and they don't want the baby crying while they are asking questions. They don't want to wait around while you quiet the baby down, change its diaper, etc.

So, I guess my answer is only if the client put the Realtor in a situation where he or she had no choice but to bring the baby and they would have to inform them of such :)


Lupita
that has happened, she also happened to be an acquaintance of mine, she did ask me before hand if it was ok if she brought her child, I lied and say yes, it was ok. I was mildly irritated at this young, spoiled child (first child resulting from a marriage) with her whiny... "no, no" ways.... That was bad enough, but if it were a stranger and she had not asked me, I would've been completely "put off"

As a Realtor myself, my first impression is that it would be very unprofessional to do so. However, without having firsthand knowledge of the situation and not knowing whether there was mitigating circumstances involved, it would be hard to pass actual judgment.

There are obviously many situations where it might be necessary but again I would hope that she at least made some effort to avoid that scenario and didn't just show up with the baby unannounced and without the sellers and/or the potential buyers and their agents knowledge and giving them the option to reschedule. That is just plain courtesy! I would definitely have a problem with that scenario.
