I had a person come to our door the other day, wanting to just look at our house. I told him that he must see our Realtor and make an appointment to see it. He insisted that he didn't have time and was really interested in our house and would just like to go through it quick! ! * jeez.

I would say NO! That is just total crap and you don't know who that is but he doesn't sound like someone who is serious about purchasing a home. Sounds like a criminal staking out your house or seeing if you are alone in the house. Call the cops next time.

The best way to do that next time, is to call your Realtor, and let them know there is someone there wanting to look at the house, put it in their hands, but have the person wait outside. Some people are just passing by trying to find a home, and stop. If they are well dressed you shouldn't have a problem w/them. But asked your Realtor to make sure.

A Realtor does a lot of work for you, and only gets paid on commission. I figured that one year it cost me 17 cents an hour to be a Realtor. If someone stops by and has the nerve to check out your house (which could be dangerous I might add) I would get their phone number first. Personally, I would never let a stranger in my house...they could be casing the place or worst murder you!

I agree with sunshine. If they want to see your house then they should call the number that is on the sign and make an appt. People who are seriously looking for a house know that is how it is done. Also it may be in the contract with the Realtor that they are to be present when the house is being shown.

In your case what you have done is correct., since you have appointed a realtor. More over the person came to your door was in a hurry, to settle at once. Here suspicion arises about the bonafide interest of that particular person.

You will need to check what was your agreement with the Realtor. It you have signed the exclusive rights to the Realtor than any prospective buyers will need to arrange with the Realtor to view your house if not, you would have breach your agreement with the Realtor and can be sued.

Perhaps he was a first-time buyer, and doesn't know the protocol. Ask him if he is aware of the process, and explain that you would love for him to view the house, but now is not a good time. Give him your Realtor's card.

If he were really interested in it, then he would have been happy to make an appointment with your realtor. I would have said no.

Definantly do NOT let him in the home. Who knows who that guy could be. Any serious buyer will understand that you need to go through the real estate agent. This is definantly important if you live alone. This guy could just want to check your house out to see what he can steal. I would tell him no, and call the cops if he comes back. Tell him if he is a serious buyer that he can go through the real estate agent.
