Simple solution. Call the agent’s number on the sign. They’re looking out for your interests anyway;)June 26, 2009 at 4:53 PM #421061sdrealtor

Participant[quote=AN] Would be nice if they establish a finger print system and anyone can go in if they want to and if the house is available for showing. Those who want their hands held can still pay for it. At this moment in time, there’s really not much option for those who don’t want their hands held.[/quote]
In all fairness, sdr is right. I understand the need of a ‘licensed’ person that is responsible, liable, etc. to be present when I see the house. Otherwise in order to be able to get in with a fingerprint or a retina scan or whatnot, there will have to be a huge background check plus huge deposit to allow a stranger access to your house, even if it’s during show hours. Or else sellers agent or a guard or something like that should be there during the show hours, which may be too difficult to arrange everyday with every lookyloo.

Participant[quote=sdrealtor]Tell ya what AN
I’ll send you my finger print (or maybe someone else’s you wont know). Will you give me 24 access to your house?[/quote]
Tell you what sdr, how about go through a screening process to get into the system, if you’re a serious buyer. Then, if you list your house in the market, you’ll get a kit that contains many surveillance camera that you can place all around the house. This is just a few suggestion. You can also require a seller/seller agent be there when you can go into the house. Even w/ a realtor, buyers don’t have access to the house 24 hours a day anyways.June 26, 2009 at 5:10 PM #421076an
