I list two to four REO properties a month and am continually amzed that Realtors and their clients think they can do as they please when looking at these homes. I have had carpets pulled up to see what is underneath, things taken from the house & yard, holes punched in the wall so they could see what was behind the sheetrock, lockboxes & keys stolen and so much more.
As Realtors we are duty-bound to do everything we can to safegaurd the sellers property -- even if the seller is "the bank".
These homes are not there to be picked over just because someone wants something. How would a traditional seller feel if someone showed their house and when they came home the bathroom mirror or the window treatments were gone? How would the Realtor explain to the seller that the carpets were pulled back so the buyer could see what was underneath?
I appreciate the showings my properties get but please, leave what belongs at the house alone!
