Are there "etiquette" rules when trying to see a house?
I really like my realtor but she's got all these "rules" that I don't understand. For example, we went to one house and the layout was a bit off but I still liked the house (it was occupied by the seller). I asked her to show it to me a second time but with a general contractor present so I could get a rough idea on how much it would cost to make changes (I'm not talking about updating the kitchen or new flooring). I wanted to know if we could convert a Sunroom into part of the house and what it would cost. She wouldn't do it. She said it was inappropriate to have a contractor without it being under contract first. Am I missing something? She keeps telling me "that's just the way its done." Is this a general rule that I'm just ignorant of? It seems to me a seller wouldn't care who I bring if it helps them sell their home.
