Message from the CFR President
"It has come to our attention by a few Realtors® that some of our local Realtors® are showing homes at an unscheduled time. This practice is Unprofessional and Unacceptable!  

Showing a home at unscheduled time has many uncertain outcomes that can affect all parties for the worst.  Be aware; there are significant liability issues due to possible weapons, dogs, or a homeowner being surprised in the home, that could end up injuring the homeowner, you, or your clients.

Your professionalism, as a Realtor®, is devalued by not showing a home at the scheduled time, so make sure you schedule all your appointments, and respect the homeowner by showing the home at the scheduled time.
 
Please watch this reenactment video of a situation to help you better understand the situation."
