Yes, you could ask the seller to show the property to the buyer. If the buyer’s agent cannot show the property, the buyer’s agent will need to obtain the permission of the buyers and sellers. The buyer’s agent should not communicate directly with the seller if there is an exclusive representation agreement in place; instead the buyer’s agent should communicate with the listing agent to avoid violating the Code of Ethics. The agent making the request to the sellers to show the property can give the sellers a non-cash gift worth up to $50, or the agent can rebate a portion of her commission to the sellers. The agent giving the rebate is required to get the consent of her broker, and if the client receiving the rebate is on the other side of the transaction, the agent is also required to disclose the rebate and get written consent from her client.
If I am unable to show the property because of COVID-19, can I ask the sellers to let the buyers in and give them a credit or gift card for handling that part of the selling process? Print
