Tour Rules

Tours are for REALTORS® with licenses ONLY!  To send clients, customers, etc to a Tour you must FIRST get permission from the agent holding the Tour.  Tours are NOT for the public!

A. Tours

1. Northfield is in the Wednesday tours

2. What is expected of the members for Tuesday and Wednesday tours:

a) The hours for tours:

1)  ON THE SHORE (NOT BARRINGTON) hours are 9:30 am to 12:45 pm on both days.  The hours can be more but not less.  

2)  IN BARRINGTON hours are 10:00 - 2:00 on Tuesdays

b) The list of the tour cities will remain as listed in the MLS system.

c) Must indicate in the remarks “Drive By” unless opened for touring.

d) New construction must say “Drive By” unless opened for touring.

e) Notice: If the listing office allows the public to attend the Tuesday or Wednesday tours then the broker must have a licensee sit the open house and that licensee must be sponsored by the listing office broker (not a licensee from a holding company.) This is from the Illinois License Law.   

3.  No children allowed at broker tour

4.  No listing is allowed to have the city changed so a home that is out of the area shows up on the tour.

Since there are so many houses on the tour, the members plot their day assuming all houses will be open at the specified times.  When they reach a home on tour and it is not opened they become furious and then call the association office demanding we issue a fine.  The members have asked for this policy to remain.
