No, of course not!  "OH NO!  Today would be a great day to go - we can check out the drainage on the lot and take a peek into the crawl space!"

Most of the time they'll change their minds!

If it was a listing appointment...I would be concerned. Make sure you actually see that house in the rain.

I showed  a farm today in the rain and walked the NCR trail to the river cottage. 

My mother in law wouldn't go anywhere if it was raining. I thought it was that she was afraid she might fall but that wasn't it. She had a blue rinse on her hair and she didn't want it to run down her face.

Crazy.  I could understand a hurricane, but regular rain, no.  Carol may be onto something.

Snoozing invites losing....

No I don't let rain, sleet or gloom of night influence my appointments.

I let the tone of my cats croaking determine my appointment fidelity.

I leave it up to the client, I have a jacket and hat that protect me from both snow and rain.

I can't remember a time I cancelled an appoint.  Clients have cancelled, but not because of rain. -Kasey

If we canceled due to weather, we would never get anything done!!

I've had some SOCAL folks try to.

I'm from The Bay Area, if we didn't work in the rain, we'd be off for 6 months.

I would love some rain in here. But it is so rare, that no one ever cancels for this very reason. 

Wait what? I agree with Debe Maxwell, CRS  . . . during/after a rain's a great time to check out a property!
Traffic, yes. We have several seasonal events that will make navigating the main streets tough. Snow, what is that? 125 degree heat? AM appointments. Not because we can't handle it. Because YOU can't.

It rains so infrequently here we go out and dance in the rain.

Nope  I show homes rain or shine!

I love the comment from Debe Maxwell, CRS ..so true and one I've used about the drainage!!

what a light weight. Rain is annoying that's for sure & my hair sure looks better without it.

Traffic, yes.  Rain, no.  Heck, even snow, no (I enjoy driving in the craziness!)

Where I am around LA, a 45 minutes drive can easily turn into 2+ hours with an accident or 2 on the freeways, so traffic can definitely cause cancellations.

  Hey, we are in Florida.  It can be sunny in the morning, rain at lunch time, then it's sunny again, then it's sunny and raining at the same time.   Unless a hurricane is in the forecast, we are going to look at houses.

I always greet rainy day buyers with some extra sunshine:  "You picked the PERFECT day to look at homes!  There's no hiding a drainage problem or leak with this weather!".  That seems to lift them a bit and off we go.   :) 

I have had buyers check to see if we were going to cancel for rain and I always say the same thing, "A rainy day is a PERFECT day to look at homes because then we'll know if there are any water problems."

I haven't had a buyer cancel yet.

I don't cancel for rain... I'm not so sweet that I would melt. But if a client cancels.... I accommodate. I only cancel photoshoots for listings if it's raining.

Just an excuse, I'd say.  That indicates a lack of motivation.  Might want to reevaluate the amount of time you spend with that client.

There are times whn I have done that or when it was done be someone else.

depends on what the appointment is.  I have had sellers cancel a listing appointment because they didn't want me trying to see their property in the rain or tracking dirty feet inside if it's rained for days.  But generally not buyers.  In the rain is a great time to see properties.

Because it is raining, wonder how serious they are about doing something.

Depends on the level of rain.  If swiftwater crews are being plaed on standby, generally I'll cancel.

No. Never. Rain was so rare here for so many years ... it just was not an issue. However, end of last year and beginning of this year we had so much rain we had flooding. It did not stop me or my clients. 

No. Once I traveled 45 minuets in a heavy rain to a listing appointment.  Was wet by time I got in the house. We laughed, talked and I left with a signed listing agreement.  

I never cancel, but yes, i have clients who cancel because of rain, most often a cancellation is snow not rain.

HA! We sold a house to some folks that literally had to crawl over a snow drift and then trudge through waist-deep snow to get to the house!

Just for ice.

Debe Maxwell, CRS nailed this one!

Maybe she just had her hair permed?

Karen Jones Lewis, MBA, Realtor - if it is serious, I do cancel the appointment.)

12+ inches of snow our of town and 15+ in town.  Never for rain!

Do I cancel because of rain or traffic No... do things become delayed because of it sometimes.. but I hate that

In Denver right now, when it rains, it could hail, and could be really bad.  Traffic could be an issue too, we had a tanker blow in the middle of the busiest part of south Denver.    Plain rain, no.

I'm in Florida - if I did I would never do any business LOL

If it is expected to freeze upon hitting the ground, we cancel.  If it includes a tornado warning, we'll cancel.  Also, if there is enough rain to cause the spawning salmon to be swimming across the road, we'll probably delay and take some photos first!  Otherwise, let's show some homes!   

Only when it snows in San Diego and Sarasota.

Interesting, since you were coming to her Karen Jones Lewis, MBA, Realtor.  Maybe she didn't want wet feet in her house, though it's not like you couldn't have removed your shoes, or, maybe she was concerned about you driving in the rain (especially if it was pouring out).  Here in age-restricted communities, those could be viable reasons why there was a cancellation.  Hopefully, this was just a 'postponement' and not a true 'cancellation (meaning she is going with another realtor).  I do not cancel because of weather, even with temps in the triple digits.

Your prospect may not be serious. 

Karen Jones Lewis, MBA, Realtor Tomorrow they will cancel because the sun is shinning and it it too hot. Sounds like an excuse to me.

No, we "soldier on".

If the rain is bad enough, I like it when the customer cancels.

Karen,

I would not be worried about that.  A
