@Paul Winka It's a common practice, most sellers don't want their tenants to know they're selling and most tenants don't like having a whole bunch of strangers walking their home. in my company we only do 1 showing with serious buyers, our buyers have to put an EMD in escrow before any showings, we usually bring 1 or 2 backup buyers at the same time, just in case the first one doesn't perform, this process allows us to disturb the tenants only 1 time.

Bringing out 4 strangers seems a bit time intensive, only be left with 4 different quotes, and still no idea who to hire.

I could get more on the open rental market, but in this case it makes me much happier to have someone I love dearly in a safe, nice house then to have strangers in it and making a few hundred more each month.
