If it's work ordered by the Seller, I have no problem, as I also typically know the contractors involved. Buyers don't typically order work prior to close but if they choose contractors to come and look at a home for estimates, they must be accompanied by the buyer's agent. (They couldn't get into the house without one, in any event, as they don't have supra keys.)

I trust no one - an agent must be present, preferably the buyer's agent!

I echo what Nina Hollander said. I know many agents that put a combo lockbox on the property and send inspectors to properties. That will never happen on my watch.

(Mine yes) There's, no. Agent must accompany or they can't get in.

I think a licensed broker/agent should be present anytime someone who's not the owner accesses a property, vacant or not. In this case, the buyer's agent should be there.

If the buyers want contractors to get in to give bids, they must be attended by Buyer's agent.

Good morning Sally. Contractors should never be allowed without an agent being present, vacant or not.

Someone has to let them in. As long as they are within their inspection period, they can have as many inspectors as they want.

Only if I know the contractor and trust him. Otherwise, I will need to be present.

NO, it is not my property to authorize such entry. Would need consent of seller, who is still rightful owner and someone should accompany e.g. listing or buyer agent. How do they get in anyway? Another reason not to have combo lock boxes.

No, they either go with or forget it. Liability purposes.
Someone has to watch the kids in the playground so to speak.

That's the seller's call. If I happen to know the contractor I will give my opinion to the seller, but ultimately in a vacant property to get a deal to close I personally have no issue if they are insured and bonded.

Sally K. & David L. Hanson No, buyer's have all the time in the world to have this done after the property closes.

"ordered by the buyer!"
Not a chance.
I am the gatekeeper. Nobody enters unless I am present.
The buyer's agent knows the right protocol.

Most likely no, but it depends if i know the contractor and what they are doing. Other wise someone is there to meet them

If it's for the buyers, no contractor allowed until contracts are signed...

Usually the contractor is someone I have recommended, or someone the seller knows. It's the seller's call as to whether they can go in alone.

If the contractor is permitted by the purchase and sale agreement to be at the property, the contractor must be accompanied by an agent from the buyer's brokerage.

If the owner allows it it doesn't bother me. Buyer agent should accompany.
