Assume that you are the Listing Agent in Ontario. You have sold a home. It has not closed. Buyer has 2-3 visits remaining before closing.
1) do you have to accompany the buyer each time?
2) does a licensed registrant have to be in attendance?
3) can anyone accompany the buyers, not licensed?
4) can the Seller and Buyer just do it without anyone being there?

Let’s deal with question: 3) can anyone accompany the buyers, not licensed?
I suppose anyone “can”, the issue, of course, is whether or not the Seller could legitimately refuse their attendance under the Agreement. If they were specifically authorized to attend, for example, the wife, brother, and sister-in-law of the Buyer, then they are covered. Also, movers, planners, building contractors etc. would have to be specifically authorized.
And, by implication, can 10 registrants, all from the Buyer’s Brokerage attend? No, one person representing the Buyer, not 10! So, if there are two Team members, write them in. However, I have never heard of a problem here. But, a third contractor’s opinion, that’s a stretch if not authorized in the Agreement.
