Reason 36 - Your Real Estate Agent Sells for You Even When You’re on Vacation

If you are selling a property and travels a lot, it is compulsory that you maintain a lock box that that you share access with your trusted realtor. A small metal box in the front door, a lock box contains the valuable keys to the property.

Keeping a lock box in your property is important because through it your real estate agent can continue to show buyers the property even if you are not around. However, the combination number to unlock the box should only be given to trusted agents.

Typically, this built-in lock-box had been installed by the builder or the previous owner of the property. If you just recently bought it, make sure to check its availability and change the combination number immediately.

Providing your trusted realtor the combination number to unlock the box will redound to your great advantage because he can have access to your property whenever an interested buyer may want to visit or conduct site inspection.

Having this kind of feature can also reinforce the interest of your prospective buyer as security is already being taken care of.

However, if you property does not have a built-in lock-box yet, you may ask help from your realtor how to install it. Different features of lock boxes are now widely available in the market. Again, ask the suggestion of your real estate agent on this matter.

Right now there are lock boxes that come with a micro-processor. This one feature needs an electronic key to open and records the in and out of your realtor. This can be availed of through becoming a member of Multiple Listing Service (MLS).

Don’t underestimate the advantage you get if you secure your property with a lock-box feature. Even if you are away, on a business trip or vacation escapade, you can continue to sell your property with the help of your trusted agents.
