That's Tacky

I know they do nothing at the closing, but I find it really tacky when real estate agents don't show up at the closing and I just think it's bad business. It's like yeah I'll take my $10,000 commission but I'm much too busy to sit at a closing table for 90 minutes.

First, in the current market you're not too busy. Second, there are several persons at closings typically who you may want to meet and schmooze. There may be some 4 sellers/buyers, 2 lawyers, 2 Realtors, and a mortgage person. Any of those people are potential clients and a Realtor covering a different area or a mortgage person could be great referral sources.
