Often, we get asked from a seller listing their home,"How often do I have to let the buyers in my house?"
This is a great question, because once your home is under contract, you have to allow the buyers to come back and see the house as many times as they would like. For more clarification, the purchase and sale contract states:
Right to Inspect Property: Upon prior notice to Seller, at Buyer’s expense and at reasonable times (including immediately prior to closing) to inspect, examine, test, appraise and survey Property. Seller shall cause all utilities, systems and equipment to be on so that Buyer may complete all inspections. Buyer agrees to hold Seller and all Brokers harmless from all claims, injuries and damages relating to the exercise of these rights and shall promptly restore any portion of the Property damaged or disturbed from testing or other evaluations to a condition equal to or better than the condition it was in prior to such testing or evaluation.
The last part of the contract also addresses if the buyers while visiting the seller's home cause harm to the dwelling, they must restore it to the original condition. For example, if the home inspector accidentally puts his foot through the ceiling while inspecting the attic, it is the responsibility of the buyer to repair the property to equal or better condition.
