Tenants not opening the door for scheduled showings. I get frustrated for the sellers and my buyers when a tenant wont open the door for us to show the home. I cringe when I see in the comments that its tenant occupied. I let my buyer know ahead of time that it may be challenging getting in to see the home and theres only so much we can do.
I was reminded yesterday of how frustrating this can be. I schedule my showings the day before making sure sellers have plenty of notice. I'm told by the agent that yes we can show the home, the tenant will be home and they will let us in......
Fast forward: Knock, Knock, Knock.....
dogs barking, kids laughing, no one answers the door....... 
I wonder how many sellers are unaware of their tenants actions.........
I wonder how many sellers care?
If I was trying to sell my home and my renter wouldn't let potential buyers in I would want to know..
I provide feedback to the agents so they know what happened. I'm sure its frustrating for everyone involved.
Sellers please be aware of the issues you may have when you are trying to sell your home and it currently has renters in it. Hire a good property management company to oversee your property while its rented. They will be able to help advise you on your rental contract, what rights your renters have and what hurdles you will have to jump over to put your home up for sale while its currently being rented.
