Invasion of privacy or not??

I don't encourage buyers taking photographs of homes they are looking at... it is an invasion of privacy. Typically, there are enough photos in mls. If I have a buyer who wants to do this as a matter of course, I get permission up front from the listing agent.

Good morning, Rob - you handled it correctly unless permission has been asked and granted.  

Good morning Rob and so nice to see you again. I tend to agree but if you ask, I think you are good if the sellers agree.

Locally the Ohio Assn of Realtors has stated you need written permission from the sellers/listing agent for the buyers to take additional photos.
