I voted and basically to me it either means the place is empty or the sellers are away. I leave a message and then show whether I hear back or not, but this backfired on me one time and the owner was very angry

To me it has always meant call first but show the property whether or not I have received a call-back. If you don’t show it, you can’t sell it…plain and simple

i vote for option one i.e.Call to let them know you’re showing the property but go whether you hear back from the occupant/agent or not ..as i always…call first , i call 2 hr ahead ….and to let them know about me that i m coming…and i go and show me..

I always call first and then go too. However, before I open the door I knock first and if I hear no one I will go in. Then announce “Broker” just in case before going in.

I always call, but will always go. I do knock first, but I think sellers understand (most of the time) that their house is for sale and that agents will be coming by. If the listing agent does their job, things should go well. Sellers can take the key out, or post a note to advise agents not to enter. Otherwise, I think its fair game.

I definitely think “call ahead” means they just want to be aware of who is showing up ahead of time. That way they know who’s showing the property and taking responsibility for its safety.

I call at least 3 hours or more ahead of time whenever possible and go even if I don’t hear back. However, I always ring the bell several times and announce myself when entering just in cast someone is home.

I voted in the poll and I think it means the place is empty or the sellers are not there. I just need to call to let someone know that I’m coming and go show.

I’d actually be kind of ticked if the results were any other way or if the other things happened regularly. Although I must say, I see mislabeled things all the time in our MLS.
