As Realtors, we have requests from the buyer about checking out a house before buying. However, I must admit that this is a new concept to me. I personally don't know any buyers or sellers who had the buyer want to "test drive" the house first. We have a contract that is a post-occupancy agreement. This covers when the house ownership has changed to the new owner, but the sellers take several days before they move out. No matter what, it is important to have a contractual agreement when someone else is trying out your home!!

What do you think? Would you spend the night in a house you were thinking of buying? Would you let potential buyers stay in a house you were selling?
