We expect the showing agent to remain at the property during the entire inspection unless you have permission in writing from the listing agent that it is okay to open the door for the inspector and leave.
How long is the showing agent expected to be at the property? The showing agent needs to be compensated properly for the time spent at the property with the inspector.
The showing agent needs to know who will be attending the inspection. Often the buyers also attend and we have seen contractors, other family members and multiple different inspectors at the inspections.
The showing agents are not to make any comments regarding the condition of the property or comment regarding anything that an inspector, vendor or client asks about.
The listing agent and buyers agents are the ones who are responsible to make sure that the utilities needed to inspect the property are connected.
