Question regarding regarding showing condo under contract

[Tyler Harvey]

BP got a question. Recently went under contract on an apartment. I didn’t write in a contingency that allowed me to begin showing the apartment while it was under contract (my loss). I asked the owners if they would be amicable to me showing the apartment while it was under contract and the owner came back and said that it was a “risk” for them. I respect that, no issues. However I’m wonder what risk it presents and if there is a way that we can mitigate it in the future.

Additionally I asked if they would allow us to use their photos after closing and they said they would “think about it”. Is this just a negotiation tactic or is there a legitimate concern here that I don’t know about?

Thanks for any help.
