Tenants Upset-Realtor Showed Up No Permission No Notice

[Jess Archives]

Hi a realtor I spoke to went around a tenant’s house and took pictures. Tenant (not main) came out who told her about the property a bit. Realtor said tenant was nice.

I did not know it then.

She did this my without permission, official agreement or notice.

I found this all out after the Main Tenant texted me saying they did not agree to it with me. That’s when the story unfolded and was surprised to l hear of the realtor’s visit. Originally she was going to be my realtor to sell the house. 

I told her over and over tenant should not be disturbed unless necessary. Such as walking the property only one time with the buyer who must bring their inspector.

I want to sell the property. I wonder if it’s better to go with a different realtor? Or if this could be typical and it’s better to correct this behavior earlier than later.

Are there other thoughts or advice for this particular situation?

I want to rectify the now upset tenant. Previously they were willing to show the house with prior notice. It is difficult to ask for that now. And I want to sell the property before their lease ends.
