No, I wouldn't have.  Holidays are a convenient time for out of towners wanting to kick tires with zero intention of buying.  Mainly they want to compare our market to their own.  Or they used to know someone who lived there decades ago and they've always wanted to see inside it whilst visiting family!!

Usually they'll admit they have no intention of buying when questioned on the phone.

Richard - It depends on a lot of things. If the listing was close to my home, and I had 45 minutes to an hour of free time, I might show the home. I also would have made sure the home met all the wants and needs of my client as well.

Honestly I would. My company is an international referral real estate network. Consequentially, I interact a lot with people with different countries.

It comes with dealing with different languages, cultures etc. Some of our users do not even speak English. I remember receiving such requests from users on ThanksGiving Day last year. Those interested in our properties were mostly from China, but also from the UK and Canada.

See, other cultures do not even celebrate Thankgiving, but my work is my passion along with helping people. I do not mind helping people on Thanksgiving Day, one of the most important celebration days in my country.

I can't say that I have but won't say that I won't.  Being from a vacation region it is a good opportunity because people are here for the long weekend.  But my people always say let's wait till the day after or the weekend and I am glad.  

As long as family comes to my house on Thanksgiving, Guess not, but if it changes, it's a possibility.

It would depend upon the Buyers situation. If he/she was only in town for the one day or had other valid reasons for not being able to see the home the day after Thanksgiving  I would probably show the Home. If that were not the case, I would ask to show the home the next morning.
