Can I bring a contractor when viewing houses on MLS?
Do contractors normally charge to come with you to look at a property prior to submitting any offers? Is this allowed? Thank you

POV from a contractor: In general, walk-throughs should not be charged for. However, I would not expect a contractor to drop everything and walk multiple properties per week without giving them work. Just be mindful of the relationship and how much of their time you are using without compensation. I have charged for detailed scopes before as I felt I should be compensated for the amount of time I was spending without guaranteed work. It is most definitely allowed to have them with you while viewing a property on the MLS.
