You do know that your appointment  has been acknowledged  and someone is trying to get you confirmed to show the property .There are a few select agents that work for these companies that use appointment centers that do not take advantage of this service . I have no problem with this either except that they put their cell phone number in the MLS as the appointment p... 03/24/2015
