I like to drive my clients around with me. I get to know a lot of what matters to them during this time. And, I think it gives them a good feel for me too. Most of my clients are from out of town too, so it is a good time to point out factoids as we drive along.

As buyers we would meet the realtor at the property. It gave us time to drive around the neighborhood and the chance to speak with neighbors (if they were outside).

We always met up mainly because we lived a couple hours from the area in which we were looking.

We've done it all different ways - meet at the office and drive together, meet at the office and drive separately, get picked up at our home or hotel, meet at the property. I think it depends on how many appointments you have in a day and how large an area you are trying to cover.

Done it both ways.

I used to do it both ways. If we were seeing multiple houses in a day I typically drove. If it was one or two after a client finished work, we usually met at the house. One of my favorite clients even insisted on driving for few of days. It was a rural area, and we covered hundreds of miles so I appreciated it. His wife and kids were there also so I think some of it was his military background and the comfort of his kids in his large truck.

My realtor picked me up at my home and drove me to the other homes to see :)

The majority of the time our realtor drove us to the houses we were looking at. A few times my husband drove in our car with the realtor. Can't remember the reason, probably because the appointment was a few towns over from the agent's office and she was an older agent. NancyLouise

Without exception, we have always ridden in the realtor's car.

I usually have the client meet me at the house, or they follow me in their car. I like to give them time to talk alone, plus I can return phone calls in between houses. I don't like to be on the phone when I am with a client, yet often need to be able to return a call from another agent looking to show one of my listings, or give feedback/let listing agent know I am done showing a house we just looked at.

When viewing alone with the agent, she would drive. But if my husband, and sometimes adult children were along, we drove separately so we could talk freely between house viewings.

Curious why you would ask.

Understand that due to recent tragic events, agents are being advised NOT to meet new customers at a property, but get them to come to the office first. That a serious buyer would have no problem meeting with them first to discuss needs, wants, financing, etc.

I will usually give a buyer one "freebie" showing, but after that, they have to show me they are serious. If they haven't talked to lender or can't give me proof of funds (for cash) then they aren't serious.

Whatever is more efficient. When doing major house-hunting, like in a move to a new city, we've booked lots of houses and the agent drove us. When living in a place and just wanting to see one house, we met there.

Meet up at the house. It's faster and more efficient.

We meet the realtor at the property

I was just curious. When i was looking i would meet the realtor at the house, but i remember her saying something about she was driving clients around to houses and i wondered why she did not drive me. I never did ask.

Some people just don't like to be passengers with someone else driving. I know I refuse to ride with some of my friends. A stranger? Maybe for a short trip only until I know how they drive.

As buyer I met my realtor at the homes.

Always meet the realtor at the property. I like to drive myself and explore the neighborhood before I go inside the house.

When I bought my house, the realtor drove me around. But then again I met her through an organization we were both part of, even though we weren't especially friends. I was glad we drove around together because it enabled more frank conversation and spontaneous questions. (And some laughter after the House with The Indiana Jones stairway down into the basement, or after escaping the House with the Severely Bowed Roof, which we hadn't noticed until we had crossed through it and were out on the deck.) She was willing to show me the neighborhoods, too.

When I hunted for the land I'm currently building on, the realtor just gave me the address and I went on my own - she never showed up at all. (I met her when I first signed up with her, and just once after. She hadn't indicated at our first meeting that she'd not actually be walking these properties with me.)

".... The Indiana Jones stairway down into the basement,... "

Gotta ask, what's that? Lots of snakes at the bottom? lol

I think its old school to drive people aroundd especially now in the days of covid.

My long-time realtor friend told me she rarely drives people around any more to see houses. Most people would rather meet at the house or houses they are looking at.

In prior times, realtors drove clients around to see houses. I would see multiple houses in a day, would make a morning or afternoon of it. I kinda miss that -- it gave us time to debrief in the car and hit up a bunch of houses on the same day together. It was all part of the service back then and I found it a relaxing, enjoyable process. I bought this last house in 2016, and that practice seemed to have fallen by the wayside in the interim since buying my previous houses.

While looking for vacation cottages, the broker drove way fast and thought nothing of completely turning around to speak to us in the back seat. Never again!!
