Banker Hours?

Interesting... I have a buyer flying in from back east and they asked to see several properties (investor, buying single family homes to rent out). So using their list of 6 properties, contacted most of the agents. Of note was one company (that will remain nameless).

The agent tells me that they cannot show the property EXCEPT during Monday through Friday, from 9am till 5pm. Well, I had asked for a Saturday showing and was told that it can't be done. Although vacant, they would not put a lockbox on it and allow agents to view. Had to have a property manager there to 'show' the property (not a luxury, $279,000).

Little wonder the property has been on the market so long.
