As a homeowner and if I were a realtor showing a property I wouldn't mind if you asked for permission or if you didn't just looking at it generally or briefly would be fine.

But if you are basically trying to dissect the whole place and taking stuff apart that's a pretty big no-no.

If you really were interested in the property and decided to write an offer you would have been able to add in your own clauses for home inspection.

I'm not helping out that listing agent but he does and is serving his and his client's best interest in making sure there is nothing wrong with the house after the showing.

I've been to many open houses in my life and from a bystander point of view what's worse is the neighbours, the jones, everyone and their mother comes to an open - messes shit up, moves stuff around, sit on the couch, sleep on the bed (you name it I've seen it)

Put yourself in the listing agent's shoe. Perhaps if you made a formal introduction of yourself (like at least your first name, phone number, if you were or were not working with a realtor) and then they would probably allow you some leeway.

Long story short:
How would you feel if someone you didn't know (no introduction) walks into your home and opens all cabinets, snoops around and checks absolutely everything
