You can gesture for them to go ahead of you and say, for example, “The master suite is in the back of the house.”

If your looking for homes just make offers with the realtor who has the listing - no need to make a grand gesture to say "join my team" - If you like them after that deal is done - maybe work with them again - if not - don't.I guess what I am trying to say is getting a team together is something that happens organically and naturally VS today I am going to build a team.

title should read "advice on good will gesture for tenants"Damn autocorrect  

The EMD is not only to provide consideration for the contract but it's also the safety net for the seller if a buyer fails to perform, so it's also a good faith gesture.

It is ok for them to notify you of what's going on (if I were you, I'd appreciate that gesture), however enforcement is not in your court.

I told them when they own millions in real estate and are a millionaire like me, I'll do things their way, but when you are so broke that you have to live as four grown adults in a single house, you're not the beacon of success and critical thinking so we will do it my way.In other cases I've also just opened the door and gestured for them to exit when they tell me that if I want to know if their dog is a pit-bull (they claimed the don't know the dogs breed but pic looks exactly like a pit-bull) I would have to pay to get it tested (this after I said only small dogs of 15 lbs or less at the top and bottom of the listing, and emailed them about it before the tour yet they still show up to tell me they have a 40 lb pit.I just told her no thanks, walked up to the door, opened it and waited for her to get out.I think with intellectually challenged people you sometimes have to be stern and lead them.I think I'm just going to ask problematic people to leave early on.

It's a small gesture but can set you apart and sends a message that you care.

I think you are right, the monetary value is irrelevant, it's the gesture that will make the most impact.

But that's just a goodwill gesture, not a liability issue.

I have done this for years, and to me, it is a cheap way to make a gesture the tenant will remember.
