Unfortunately, I don't think it is how it happens much of the time. Of course, I am not sure that public open houses are really that safe for us either.

It's never a good idea to run out and meet a stranger at a house, vacant or not. It's unsafe for you and the of the owner of the home and, as you know, is often a waste of everyone's time. It's amazing to me that people expect us to still do that. If a Buyer is serious about one of my listings, they're not working with an agent or they can't make it to the public open house, I expect them to meet me at the office first and bring a pre-approval letter and picture ID. Once I am certain they are who they say they are and are qualified buyers, I will then take them to the home to view. That's just common sense. Doing that and asking the right kinds of questions protects everyone's time and safety. Good for you in pre-qualifying that caller over the phone.
