Yes, they do... I don't give them a choice. And I discuss how and when I work with them upfront... so there are no surprises.

Yes. 99% of my clients are respectful. Realtors do not respect them, out of their own issues. But, I just ignore them.
You can reach me on AR & Facebook for social after hours. But you can't reach me by phone or email after my last appointment Saturdays, 7PM weekdays, day off- Sundays nor when I'm on vacation. I shut my phone off and avoid email when online.
But MORE IMPORTANTLY, I do.
I teach my clients my hours two ways. Meeting One. And then never deviating from those hours or they know it's B.S. and why respect them?

Most of them yes. I always go over my hours when i am hired. When i am available by phone, when i can show homes and how email can work in off hours. Every now and then you get 1 client that gets so focused on buying or selling, time does not matter to them.

No but I'm not a big stickler on the time a person calls. Typically in the morning I like to get a lot done before I get any calls, so I just don't turn on my phone until 8am. And I turn it off in the evening when I go to sleep. And I don't answer between 7 and 7:30pm when Jeopardy is on.

Yes they are very respectful and rarely call after 8 unless we have an open negotation going on and then I welcome it.

Yes, they do. It's rare to get a call at a late hour unless we are in negotiations, and many email or text.

I believe they do. I met with a potential new client last night. I told them I generally "shut down" by 8pm however I am up early and will respond first thing the next day. They were okay with that.

My clients can call me any time. They know I don't mind them calling in the evenings when they have time or are in a different time zone. If I'm busy like at a meeting, restaurant, movie or theater and my phone is on silent, I'll text them to let them know I'll call them later. Just takes a second and they know I'm there for them. That's just the way I've set up my life.

I don't post actual hours of operation but most have had common sense & don't phone me after 9 or 10 at night. I don't mind early calls because I am up early. Email is different. People email me around the clock & I'll even respond to a late email or text, people really appreciate it.

For the most part. For east coast buyers, sometimes they forget there is a two hour difference, and cannot figure out why I won't answer my phone at 6 am!
1,622,432
Most do. But if someone has a tantrum in the middle of the night, I'd rather address the situation promptly( in a very kind gentle way) than let the person to cook the whole night in it and cancel or destroy everything first thing in the morning.
Just few days ago I had a bunch of texts from my nervous sellers, I send them few texts back and it made them feel better. It is very rare, though.

99.9% of the time. Every once in a while somebody gets a little exuberant and texts me really late. I don't answer typically till the next morning because I go to bed fairly early
1,503,048
1,076,551
No, I don't ask them to and advise my hours of operation are whenever I'm available. I'm sure to take personal time, but if I'm available at 11pm on a WEdnesday I don't mind people calling/emailing.
My flexibility and availability are one of my clients and partners favorite thing about me --- just last week I answered the phone for a Realtor on a Saturday night and the first thing they said was "I can't believe you answered!"
