Don't Be Late When Viewing Occupied Homes!  Agents are obligated to show up promptly or at least make a phone call to reason why they are holding up property owners, to further explain the inability to make it there at the designated time. Three good reasons to be punctual:One.  Being on time shows a higher level of professionalism. Arriving well after the agreed upon time is unacceptable. Prior to setting out, the expectation is set and why it is called an appointment!  Two.
