Over the course of more than twenty years it truly "depends" for many reasons. Each client and each situation is not just different but unique.

I usually meet clients at their home or a local restaurant for a cup of coffee ... non-threatening ... probably do this 98% of the time.  The 2% come to my office.

Rarely more than two or three times a year. Last year it was once.

Rarely - maybe once a month. 

Most of the time.

I haven't had bricks-and-mortar since 2007. This past week I met clients at a restaurant, shrimp cocktails, they bought. 🤠 I tried!
At a site. And at one of their properties.

Paul S. Henderson, REALTOR®, CRS Initial meeting about 90% of the time. Prior to a day of showings, greater than 90% of the time. Writing an offer 100% of the time. Other stratigy meetings 95% of the time.

Never

It is very rare. I most often meet sellers at their home. In office visits are more often to sign in person or collect a check from buyers

So far in the last 4 years, never

Rarely because my office is far from home. At my next brokerage, I'm planning to do that most of the time.

100% for every new buyer.

with most clients, NONE....

It all depends but the average answer is "rarely". 

Once, maybe twice

Why would I need to meet with my clients at my office? 

Over the course of the past 7+ years .... never. 

With Sellers/Landlords, I usually meet at their home, or business condo/office, as the case maybe.

With Buyers, I sometimes meet at one of the 10 HomeSmart offices near the search location - especially if we have to look at several listings and fine-tune search criteria. Most often I meet Buyers at a cafe or restaurant for the initial consulting about the market and contract process.

Most of the time I don't meet buyers at the Office. I meet them at the property we are seeing. It would usually be out of the way to go to the Office 1st. I go to the office to check my mail and interview new agents.

When listing a home, I meet at the seller's property. Potential new clients, we always meet at the office first.

Formal office. Generally less than one time on average.

First time meets or convenience of a conference near the subject property are the prime drivers for the office meet.

Never, my "office" is 80+ miles away from my practice area. We meet at the property or a local business close to the property.

Zero.  Don't have a formal office.  Back in the 90s when it was almost unheard of to have a "virtual office" my folks almost never went into the office.  It's one of the reasons why we opened our own vitrual company way before they were popular.

home office, so meet them more at starbucks or title company.

Always. 

Like never. Excuting purchase agreement is all DocuSign. Sellers at the property. New Buyers at the viewing. Almost all my business is a referral. 

Very, very rarely. I might need to get dressed-up!

Paul,

It depended.  Some wanted to meet us in our highrise office, and some wanted to meet us at the site.  Whatever worked...A

Most of the time.

Zreo at this point. My client base is out of state and out of country investors. Plus we don't have an office.

Almost always. You can do a lot of work before you hit the road. Showing houses that do not meet their needs is a waste of time.

Have to say, not often.

In today’s day and age, very seldom

Always!

Once or twice a year.  Meet at the property, drive in separate cars, that's my model.

Try on first meet. 

Most of my client meetings do not take place at my office. It is not uncommon that I meet with clients at an open house and follow-up meetings are at showings, inspections or done electronically. In person meetings also take place at coffee shops and their homes.

with the exception of meeting sellers at their home to list every time.

As needed.
