Landlord Owners Being Reluctant to Show Their Properties More than Once

We've found that a lot of the landlord owners are reluctant to show their properties more than once.

A lot of them don't understand that it's fairly rare for local buyers to buy site-unseen, thus every now and then it's necessary to walk five or more buyers through the property.

Being that they normally ask us to act as if we're insurance agents or something, once we get to the second and third visits with prospective buyers, the tenants start to feel deceived, and it's down hill from there.

Is there a policy you communicate with landlord owners or something that allows them to understand that there's going to be instances where multiple people are going to need to view the property before they buy?

I know I just posted another forum topic that may be perceived as being the same, however I think that although they're dealing with the same general area of the business, that they are two different questions.

Thanks in advance for your time.
