Deal Under Contract! Renter Ignoring Me! Help!!!
Hey everybody, newbie here.
So I have my first deal under contract, home is occupied by renter for 10+ yrs. everything is going accordingly except I cannot get in contact with the renter to set up a time (or even get a copy of the key) to bring buyers through. We've met once, initially when seller showed me the property....
Now, I've called and left messages and even went by the house but he was not home. I've gone ahead and advertised the property but I'm just being blown up by buyers that all I can tell them at best is "hey here's some photos of the home and if you'd like, you can drive by the property."
Also new here so maybe some buyers out there are satisfied with just photos and seeing the home from outside (I don't think so). We are set to close in under 3 weeks and he is holding this up a bit, the seller is 92 yrs old and she's done more than she can to get me and the renter in contact but I feel he may be purposely avoiding me for his personal reasons.
Any advice would do guys thanks, I can't wait to close this deal just before thanksgiving!
