    *Sigh* Ok, input appreciated. We’ll do the lockbox. And it is one of the sentri locks ones that only Realtors (R) can get into. Ask me why that didn’t make me feel any safer, though…

    (No offense meant to the honest and reliable Realtors on this board – only to the dime a dozens that are the same ones who would put the lock combo in their comments on the MLS)

    You need to make your house fully accessible, and that includes using a lock box. Consider the electronic ones posted above, if you want more control over access.

    Agree with the staging, and with moving out, if that’s possilble. Either way, get all your valuables out of the house and have them stored at a friend/family member’s house or in a safe deposit box.

    One more thing…if you want to sell your house quickly, there is nothing that works quite as well as pricing it right when you first list it.

    I’ve had to sell a few properties since the credit crunch, and pricing well is the #1 best advice anyone can ever give you for selling fast (and having as few people in your house as possible).

    CA renter knows enough to be a realtor – and be better than most from day one! Great advice, and with the right price it’ll sell in the first few days anyway, and you can take off the lockbox.

    Do not underestimate the need for right-pricing, because your listing becomes stale and forgotten within days (if not minutes) with a price that’s too high.

    FYI
    you can have the lockbox set to restrict access to certain times of the day. The is no reason to be bothered after or before 9 and that is pushing it. Having access eliminated late at night could provide some peace of mind.
