Etiquette When Requesting A Private Showing

[Stephen Witkowski]

Im just starting out I’ve received a lot of advice to the effect of “look at as many properties as you can”.

While there are some open houses in the area, I wanted to know what common etiquette would be surrounding a private tour of a home? Should I request a tour, even if I am only using that time to analyze a deal? Is there an expectation that I should submit an offer after touring a home? Is there anything else I should know before scheduling a tour through a popular MLS site like realtor.com or LoopNet.com?
