So you're saying that you're okay with a realtor showing your home and walking away without turning off the lights that they turned on to "show the house" and you think that that's worth paying top money for???
the owner isn't local...leaving the lights on costs her money...
you think this behavior is worth 5-6% when there's an alternative???

Such a good point you made and such a good neighbor YOU are since you don't have a key to do what the realty agent is being paid well for ! Some would not bother to go get another person to unlock the house and SAVE big time $$ for your absent neighbor. Give yourself a pat on the back.... and an extra cookie, you deserve it. That's what the "villages" is supposed to be. My personal experience in using a agency to sell a house was not good so I only did it once in four times. I had the lights left on ALL the time... they didn't really mind because it was not coming out of their money. I had my sprinkler system left running once, why shut it off, the agent was not paying for the water, and, I found out, she was in a hurry, was supposed to meet another agent for an early dinner, had cigarette butts crushed on my garage floor once ! Agent said people she was showing home to could never have done it ! She suggested perhaps one of my two grown sons may have come over AFTER the showing, and smoked while they were int he garage.... trouble was, neither of my sons lived in that state (Iowa) and neither smoke....LOL... so, "some" agent, who did NOT want to loose a sale, allowed a person going through my house to go to my garage and smoke, knowingly ! Again, good for you for standing up for your neighbor, an agent is not ever going to care as much as you do.
