Sort of funny on that one because about an hour into the inspection, the TXU shut off the electric due to non-payment and refused to give me another couple of hours to complete the inspection.
How the hell can a realtor (even think they can) demand anything... they (the realtors) have absolutely nothing to say to the client but, "Sorry I didn't do my job!"
From the TREC Sales contract-- as follows:7. PROPERTY CONDITION:A. ACCESS, INSPECTIONS AND UTILITIES:Seller shall permit Buyer and Buyer's agent access to the property at reasonable times. Buyer may have the property inspected by inspectors selected by Buyer and licensed by TREC or otherwise permitted by law to make inspections. Seller at Seller's expense shall turn on existing utilities for inspections.
It is not our responisibility to adhere to the sales contract. It is the buyers and the sellers who have to do their respective jobs!!!!!!!!!!!!!
