We see this all the time and in fact list properties routinely with no ability to view before at least submitting a good offer. Tenants just get overwhelmed and the owner usually wants to minimize the amount they are disturbed. It’s the tenant’s home and they aren’t the one selling after all. We understand the position the buyer is in though and it is typical (at least in Reno for investments) to have a period of time written into the agreement where you can walk away with the deposit. On the sell side it never looks good to go into contract, take it off the market and have the buyer cancel right away so we want to make sure they have an opportunity at the beginning of the escrow or just before to do a walkthrough, make sure everyone is good, and move forward. Make sure your contingency is there before going into contract to walk away if you don’t like what you see with your deposit in hand. Check with your agent and title/escrow office (or even an attorney) to see how deposits are handled in your state if the transaction is cancelled. In NV the escrow company probably won’t do anything unless they have both parties agree in writing to the cancellation and distribution of deposits, or unless they have a court order/binding arbitration, etc.
