Is it in an agent's scope of work to assist a seller in eviction?
I recently found a motivated seller through my marketing who has a house in my city that he needs to get rid of. The house is in the seller's name and he wants to unload it for what is left on the mortgage which is roughly what it's worth on the market currently. The problem is that his brother-in-law still lives in the house and won't leave. He hasn't had a renewed lease in two years and he has not been paying rent for longer than that. The seller has described the brother-in-law as both unstable and possibly confrontational.
The seller lives across the country and says he can't evict the tenant from where he currently lives. For those of you experienced in these matters, is it worth trying to help the seller evict this tenant? What steps of action should I take if I want to help him? Thanks!
