Is it normal for an agent to step out....
We had a showing at our home today....the agent stepped outside to take a cigarrette break, leaving the buyer inside alone for 10 minutes, then putting the cigarette out onto our exterior concrete patio.
Is it appropriate for the realtor to leave the buyer in a home unattended?
Thank you! :)

But, I just can't do it in a way that wouldn't require me using inappropriate language. Anyone know a non-profane synonym for "*******"?
