Perhaps a word to the agent's broker or office manager about lack of professionalism would be appropriate. If he's a sole practitioner, then perhaps your agent can spread the word to watch out for him. negative publicity.

...are Agents out there sending Buyers alone to houses they do not own without consent of the Seller?

Not saying it is wise, but yeah, sometimes.

It's highly unprofessional for the buyer's agent to not meet his buyers at the property. Being over an hour late - outrageous. Not showing up at all - beyond outrageous and completely unprofessional and a violation of our Standards of Ethics.

BTW, you sound like a seller and not the seller's agent. Your agent is supposed to be the one meeting the buyer's agent and the buyers at the final walk through. Where was your agent?

It is never acceptable to send a buyer to a property alone without their agent. That agent needs to be reported as sushipup1 mentions above.

Yikes! I did find upon reviewing it that it is a violation of the ethics rules to send unaccompanied buyers inside a property. It is NOT ok.

I'm glad it worked out this time, but one day, lazy Agent who can't be bothered to show up is going to send someone unaccompanied inside a home, something will happen - or prospect will move in (!!), and Agent will be caught up in an expensive lawsuit.

Here, the buyers admitted they went in alone, but often neighbors are watching the house when unusual activity is taking place since they know the Sellers, so the Sellers are always going to know what is going on. Other neighbors always know when the Seller has moved out and no one is or should be present.

The Selling Agent was unavailable at this particular time, so while the appointment could have been declined by the Seller for that evening, Seller was physically close by and was happy to hold the house open.

^You are so right about the consequences of sending over a buyer without their agent for the final walk-through.

You never give a lock box code or supra key to a client... that is just common sense.

Here, only the buyer's agent and buyer attend the final walk through, unless it is a high end home.

In my area, the buyers agent and the clients go to the walk thru, not the listing agent. In this case, what exactly was supposed to happen if there was a problem at the walk thru? The entire purpose is to make sure the house is the way it was the last time the buyers saw it, to make sure repairs that were requested from the home inspection were made. This is a lazy, unethical buyers agent that could be brought up on ethics charges and probably should be!

We did a walk through just before closing. The lock box was still in place and our agent let us in and came to the closing with us. (Unfortunately the seller turned the power off before closing and we walked in to a fridge leaking water from melting ice..........but it was tile floors and no damage was done. We left the fridge and freezer doors open so no mold would grow and called the power company to be sure they were turning the power on in our name asap. We had arranged utilities starting day of (or maybe it was day after)closing, seller turned off before.)

Buyer's agent should be present. In the rare case that the buyer's agent cannot be there, they should have arranged for Listing agent to be there. Sending buyer's alone is not acceptable IMO. (I'm a Realtor).
