Never apologize to your real estate agent. Oftentimes clients will apologize for 'taking up your Saturday' when in reality, real estate agents are businesses, just like the doctor's office, the grocery store, or your CPA. 

You have a set appointment with your agent. Assuming you arrive on-time and are courteous in nature, there is absolutely no need to apologize. 

We get it, you appreciate our time, but that's different. 

This is flat-out apologizing for meeting with us. 

Why are you apologizing? Don't you WANT to buy a house? Don't you WANT to move your family to a new location? There are shared common goals so there should be no need to apologize...unless...

You are financially unqualified (haven't pre-qualified), you aren't motivated (don't need to move for another year), or you're just kicking tires and you know in your own head that you're not a serious buyer.

There's no need to apologize. As an agent, we are here to serve you. If anything, an agent should apologize to him/herself for going out with a client if that client apologizes. 

Apologizing to a real estate agent is a tell-tale sign that you the purchaser/renter is clearly just using the real estate agent as a door-opener and you have no serious interest in moving forward on your purchase/rental.
