Ah here we can revert to the discussion of we have a communications problem or the EXPECTATIONS
VIS A VIS INTENT DILEMMA .
I contend that the wide spread advertisements and selling of this home changes the status of people coming onto this property from trespassers to invitees and as such unless the homeowner in her advisement made clear that no one was allowed on the premises without a prior appointment creates a dilemma.
While I understand your meaning of call ahead, it would appear to be "common sense" by some people to deduce that since the property is for sale it is open for inspection.
Actually I would welcome people to come take a look kick the tires because I want to sell my house and I want to sell it quickly..but that's another topic.
For homeowners who have lawn service, pest control etc you have what is referred to as licensee, allowing them to come onto your property to provide the service you pay for.
People are over reacting and applying a dichotomy to this issue and in some respects its puzzling to me.
The house is for sale "for sale" begs take a look, the expectation would be some people would not want to contact the owner with any kind of commitment until they had a look, a sincere interest in the property.
If this intrusion was happening to the homeowner and the house was not for sale well that's a horse of a different color
