Can A Buyer And Seller Communicate Directly? While it is unethical for a REALTOR to speak to another agent’s client, there is nothing wrong with a buyer and seller communicating directly. They are not held to the same ethical standards. It is completely ok for a buyer and seller to directly speak to each other.
Is it OK to contact home seller directly?

When to allow buyer access to your home?
As for these additional requests to see/plan in the house, I would set up an appointment with a window of time (maybe an hour or two) where they could come and see/plan while I was there.

Proceed with caution when considering early buyer possession. Possession of a home usually transfers from seller to buyer at closing, but in some cases, a homebuyer asks the seller to grant early buyer possession before closing.
What should I do before selling my house to a buyer?
Sellers should be sure to stipulate before the buyers move in early that any and all repairs are spelled out in the contract and have already been agreed to. Early buyer possession should be handled with a written lease agreement that’s separate from and in addition to the purchase agreement.
When does possession transfer from seller to buyer?
Possession of a home typically transfers from seller to buyer at the time of closing, but sometimes a homebuyer will ask the seller to grant early possession before closing occurs. Buyers usually make this request because their apartment lease has ended or their old home has already sold, and they need a place to live immediately.
