I just listed a house for sale that I’m renting to a couple. They’ve been there about 2 years. Anytime the realtor has tried to coordinate a showing with them, they are not home. When I suggested giving the realtor a key to the house so that he can show it while they’re not there they objected, citing privacy concerns. I guess I could understand the concern but at this rate the house will never get sold. I am likely just going to ask them to move. I was just wondering what norm is in this scenario if any of you have ever gone through this.

When does their lease expire?
In the new lease you could write in showing instructions they would have to follow or not sign the lease.
Ask them to vacate. They are interfering with you achieving your goals. If they are uncooperative, begin an eviction. Investors like vacant properties where they can see what they are buying and they like to pick their own tenants. Don’t waste time with it on the market, as your days-on-market count is going up for nothing. Take it off the market, get rid of the tenants, and start over vacant.
You will be stuck with this tenant forever if tenant keeps paying rent and does not want to move or talk to you.

You cannot. Selling is not one of reasons for eviction.
Not true. It can be done. It’s easier if you can get them to leave, but they can be evicted. And if they are obstructing the sale through non-cooperation with showings, it’s much easier. Just keep good records, present to the judge, and they are out the door in relatively short order.
Tenants have no contractual duty to show to buyers, let alone obstructing anything.
For such month to month, there may be no any lease. If current rent is low, under rent control , etc, tenants will never leave.
