Yes, as we are requested to do and to let the sellers know we had come. Absolutely no marketing material should be left... the seller is another agent's client and we have no right to try to interfere with that relationship.

I do as a courtesy leave my card still. No I would never leave behind any of my marketing material in someone elses listing-huge no-no.

I leave a business card to let the seller know I was there. 

I don't leave anything else.  

Yes. And if I happen to have had a brain fade and did not drop a card, I email the listing agent and apologize. 

Second part: NEVER. 

Yes, as a courtesy if the unit is empty

It is the accepted practice in our market, and when the stack on the counter gets high enough I know it is time to put in my offer.

I always leave a business card, and nothing more.  Sometimes I may write on the back of the card Thank You!

It is customary to leave a card and I'm always amazed at the marketing material the local eejits attempt to leave.  I gather them up and report them if the Seller is mine and I take a photo and report them if I'm representing another Buyer.   The sleezy tactics need to be wiped out if it is only one sleeze at a time!

PS my usual keep my head down and eyes on my own paper doesn't apply here  and is replaced by "what's good for one is good for all".  I want a level playing field.

no extra marketing material - that would be inappropriate 

1)  Yes, It is the custom in my area for business cards.

2)  No, as that is considered interfering with a relationship between the seller and the listing agent, per the regulator.

Yes to business card, usually write Thank You on back or Nice Home; no to marketing material - inapporpriate (interfering with listing agent relationship).

Yes, to the business card and No to the marketing material.  Tacky!

Cards, yes.  It's proper form out here.

No marketing material, as I respect the listing agent/owner relationship. I do leave a business card showing I was at the property.

no just your card.

Used to...different world today. NO to leaving ...any I'm the best materials

Supra = no need to leave a card; presence has already been recorded. If I enter with a key that I picked up at a listing office etc., I leave a card to confirm I was there. I would prefer not to leave a business card in somebody else's listing--I do not want to hear from their seller asking me questions about a potential deal.

Business card yes. Marketing material no!

Yes, a business card at each home.

No marketing material, that would be poor form.

I always try to leave a card, but would never consider leaving marketing materials behind. 

Yes I leave a card. NO I do not leave promo material on how wonder I am. There was a broker who tried to do that many years ago & she spend much to much time in front of the grievance committee.

It's protocol to leave a business card.  I would not consider leaving self-promotion materials behind.

Some times yes and some times no. Most often sellers wil then call me looking for updates on their home. It is 100% wrong to leave any marketing material by a showing agent

You bet, it's required in this area

Yes, so that agent and owner know it was shown...leave marketing material...ABSOLUTELY NOT!

Most of the time I do. Ocasionally I run out or forget them.

If it's occupied I do so that sellers know I was there.  If it's vacant I don't waste my cards.  The feedback system that we use lets them know I was there.

Yes...there are some agents who request ...and Sellers who don't believe you have been there if you do not.

No. That isn't common practice in our area any longer. On occasion, I'll show a house that request the agent leave a card behind. It's old school!

Yes. It is the proper etiquette. As LA, those business cards are true values for feedback.

Peter Mohylsky not as much as I used to do....

My sellers often get upset if someone was supposed to show the property and didn't leave a card because they're not sure anyone actually came. I have some special little cards made up for showings.

The other is, forgive me, quite tacky, and smacks of crossing an ethical line.

We leave our business card in Elkhart County, but not allowed in St. Joseph County.  I definately woud not leave my material there.

Leave a business card when instructed in the MLS, and most other occasions.

No they get tossed. I sign up for an appointment.

Yes, it shows the sellers I was there

Not if it's vacant and I've used my Sentrilock to get inside.

I only leave a business card, and it's for the LA, as most of the homes I show or preview are vacant Peter Mohylsky. 

Only if milk and cookies are left out for me....OH! That's Christmas!

I do.

Peter Mohylsky Yes, it is customary in my area.

Usually. Maybe not in vacant foreclosures.

Not unless requested - the ARMLS SUPRA lockbox provides our details to the Listing Agent.

Yes I do.

Depends on the showing instructions.

Yes

Yes to business card, as far as marketing material, I would hope your business card would do you justice. There are 2 sides to a business card. Use it to promote yourself , that way the listing agent won't  get all fired up thinking you are after his clients.
