[WSBARP] Tenant refusing to allow realtor to show property

[Kary Krismer]

Putting legal issues aside, as a real estate broker I would usually 
advise having a tenant in a listing is a terrible idea, unless the 
tenant is unusually cooperative.  It is generally better to wait until 
they vacate the property so that the property can be seen by as many 
buyers as possible.  That will typically get you a better price due to 
the property being seen by more buyers.

Currently, however, the market is clearly declining, so there's that.  
Personally I would still wait.  Absent huge rate increases the decrease 
in value will probably be less than the reduction in price from having a 
tenant in place.  But then I predicted years ago that a pandemic would 
hurt Seattle real estate prices.  ;-)
