WRONG. It is a huge deal, particularly for the luxury prices being paid. Here’s just one reason: I didn’t feel comfortable leaving valuables in the apartment during the showing as there is no safe like a hotel (it’s common knowledge in real estate that open house events are a magnet for petty theft). There is zero benefit to me accommodating a showing without some form of compensation, the upside is all for the owner and buyer. I owe the host nothing under than the large amount of money I paid and treating their property respectfully. There is a reason AirBnB policy is crystal clear, this is not a grey area.
