Sellers: How many times did the buyer visited "their" house?

Other than the standard 2 showings, our buyers have come back another time to visit, AND they showed up unannounced on a different occasion.  I'm sure they'll want to do a final walk through as well.  I'm glad they love the house, but it's getting to be too much, since we're in the process of moving (30 days, at their request).

How many times has your buyer come back?  Can I cut them off? :)

Re: Sellers: How many times did the buyer visited "their" house?

  • Uh, as a buyer I think they're way out of line. Your agent should call their agent and tell them to cool it. I would never think that was okay.
  • I agree with the PP. I think you'd be completely within your rights to tell your agent to tell their agent they need to pre-arrange any visits with you well in advance. It's not really "their" house yet. They are under contract, sure, but it is still your property until closing.

    Our seller told us we could come by sometime if we wanted to. I would have liked to (I needed to get dimensions before I could buy a fridge and washer/dryer, etc) but it just felt too weird to me to actually do that. It was still his house. And if I would have, I definitely would have gone through our agents to set up a time!

  • I would cut them off. Showing up unannounced is not acceptable and I would definitely say something to your REA.  Say since you are in the process of packing and moving things, you cannot accommodate any more visits except the final walk thru. If the buyers show up again on their own, just tell them sorry but you are busy packing. 

     

  • I agree with PPs, that is too much. It is still your home, and you shouldn't have to worry about anyone showing up unannounced. They will get to do a final walk through and double check that everything is alright- that should be enough, at this point.
  • Totally over the top, especially showing up announced. Keep that door locked LOL. Those people sound intense.

  • We have friends whose buyers would drop by all the dingdong time before the closing and our friends would let them in.  I specifically asked our realtor about this when we signed the contract to sell and she said that they would be back for the inspection, but there shouldn't be any other visits.  And she was shocked that someone would allow buyers to keep dropping by.

    I would definitely have your agent tell theirs to stop.

  • We're buying a house (not selling) and we have seen the house once since purchase and sale was signed (and thats all we plan on doing except for a quick walk through in May to make sure the central air works until we close in June). We went on Sat to do some measurements since we will need to do some work before move in (owner is a smoker and we are not). It is in our contract that we can see the property at the convenience of the seller and their real estate agent (standard in Ma per our realtor).

    No way is it ok that they showed up without notice and without your or their real estate agent.

  • unannounced is way out of line.

    we visited 5 times.

    initial showing, slower tour before deciding to put in offer, inspection, checking that post inspection requests/repairs were made, and final walk.

    our house was unoccupied though.

  • Thanks everyone! I wanted to be sure they were being unreasonable. I forgot that they probably came for the inspection as well, and we've haven't even been under contract 3 weeks. They're otherwise model buyers, so I think that we'll just nicely say no if they try to schedule another showing. I think the look on my face when they showed up unscheduled will discourage them from doing that again.
  • Wow that is annoying.  Since putting in an offer i have been back once to measure and our house is empty.  I do drive by it all the time!

  • As buyers. We had two showings. Then we went back there to sign the paperwork and go through the house one more time. We also went on inspection day. It was a foreclosure that was vacant so we didn't have to worry about putting someone out.

  • I think my buyer came twice more, after the initial showing. But he sat outside on the street and stalked us a lot. :)
