We sold last year. Honestly, I was surprised at the liberties people take in a home they are inspecting. I actually had someone at an OFI change a baby's nappy on my change table, use one of my bags (and I assume wipes and nappies) and leave the pooey nappy hanging in the bag on the end of the change table. I spoke to the agent, whom I was quite happy with in general, and it had been a very busy inspection and somehow she and her assistant had both missed the nappy change. Who does that at an OFI???

I also had people use my bouncer, my high chair and kids trashed the cubby. Now, if I'm inspecting a house I explain to my kids that this is not our home and they must not touch anything. Kids being kids, they might not be able to restrain themselves but I would ALWAYS make sure that anything they touched was back in it's original place (and I would grab it from them immediately they picked it up). If my child is too young to understand the 'look, don't touch' theory, then I carry them instead of giving them free reign in someone else's home.

Having said that, I did not expect my agent to clean up after an OFI. I wanted lights switched off and doors locked. I know my agent had other OFI's to get to so didn't expect her to tidy before leaving. My dismay was with the people who inspected our home, not with our agent.

I wonder if the people who inspected your house on this occasion had children with them and they ran amok? I would expect the agent to ensure nothing was damaged, but not necessarily to tidy up before leaving.
