Do all realtors want a pre-qual before showing?

We are wanting to look at a couple places in Florida next week. We asked to see two properties and the realtor wants us to pre- qualify before she will show those to us. It seems that lately when we ask to look, we are always told we need to get pre qualified before they will show them. Is this normal these days. We don't want our credit checked jut to look at a house or condo! Jack and Cheryl

Yes that is normal. They don't want their time wasted by people who are either not qualified or simply who just want to look at a property. If you want to actually buy a property you shouldn't care if your credit is checked as that is the main reason to actually have good credit.

Conversely if you are that intent, then suggest paying the agent  $200 to show you the property.
