A buyer moves into a seller's property before escrow closes, they would most likely be considered a(n)?

1. Guest

2. Intruder

3. Tenant

4. Visitor

The correct answer is: Tenant

When a buyer moves into a seller's property before escrow closes, they would most likely be considered a tenant. A guest is someone who has been invited by the homeowner to stay in the home temporarily, while an intruder is someone who enters the property without permission. A visitor is someone who visits the property for a short period of time. In this scenario, the buyer is not a guest, intruder, or visitor as they have not been invited or entered the property temporarily. They are considered a tenant, as they are occupying the property with the intention of purchasing it through the escrow process.
