Providing Buyer access after subject removal and prior to completion?

Sellers make the final decision as to whether to allow buyers to visit their home after subject removal and prior to completion but most listing agents discourage such situations because too many things can go wrong.

To avoid potential issues during a home viewing, it’s important for sellers to maintain control over the situation. For example, while it’s tempting for buyers to start imagining the house as their own, making changes like testing out a new humidifier installation without permission could lead to unintended damage. Homeowners might find themselves stuck with repair costs, making it essential to set clear boundaries during the visit.

Buyers might also start making lists of extra repairs they want to see completed before closing. Most often, these aren’t genuinely necessary fixes. They’re simply things the homebuyers would like to see changed.  This can be especially frustrating if the transaction has already gone through the inspection and repair process.  I recommend against providing access and asking the that Buyer complete their due diligence during their home inspection.
