You have received some good advice here. Once you handle this issue take ASD's advice and get involved in their affairs and take control. Aim for POA and then executor. Go to the Nolo Law web site for some good books on this and paperwork as well.
This is not easy. I am going through it now as well. There is a certain type of scum that seeks out Arizona because of the retirees there. It seems everyone is after these old folks money. It is your job now to be their protector.
This generation of elderly are very stubborn. They want to do it themselves and it is hard to see them taken advantage of or end up dealing with unwise decisions they have made.
God bless you in this challenge ahead of you. Take comfort in this. You love enough to take care of your parents and get involved. There are many elderly out there who do not have anyone who cares.

Agreed with Mr. Sol.
My MIL is 85, the essence of sweet purity, a true honest- to -God Southern bell who knows the Bible like the back of her hand.
I married her son and being I am with her much of every day, it is my job to protect her from the telemarketers who constantly ignore her listing on the do not call list, the nonstop solicitations for money for starving children, orphans, benevolent funds and people with cancer- then we have the shopkeepers who try to pull one over on her- incorrect change, won’t accept a return, piddly things they use to try to get the upper hand on an old lady, for some reason.
Calmly, I deal with this. It is not pretty for them. But I am privileged to have her in my life. I can and will make those dishonest, uninvited, who try to invade her life, regret the day they are born. Nothing like getting on the other line and hearing some woman talking over my MIL, who is tearfully begging this stranger to stop calling, while this POS is asking for money for dying children- my MIL’s youngest died of cancer- ignoring the repeated fact that my MIL has cancer now.
If it is legal in AZ to record a phone conversation, can you call the realtor? How is it ethical to go in on a property with a client? I would think that is pretty bad professionally and she could be called out on that alone.
