How can I sell the home if you lock me, other agents and potential buyers out??
It is a frustrating world out there right now for everyone and as a real estate agent, I have had my share of many frustrating circumstances!
Right now the most frustrating one for me is the fact that a short sale bank's property management company has locked me out of the home that I have listed for sale as a shortsale.
They do not yet own the property, and the auction date has actually been postponed for now ,so we have a better opportunity to come under contract with a buyer. And then they do this! Lock me out of the listing. Dumb. dumb. and dumber. I'd have met them there if they had just told me they were doing it or made some arrangement to get a new key and my lockbox! Just give me a heads up maybe??!!!!!!! Are you so busy and uncaring that it did not matter that you want it under contract but you lock everyone out? Greeeeaaat!
I can see that they need to make sure their asset is kept safe and sound (believe me I DO check on the home on a regular basis as one of my listings), BUT why would you take away my access to sell the home ? I thought that was the objective??????Especially since you do not legally own it as of yet?
How can we show and SELL the property if we can't get in? So are you shooting yourself in the foot here in your endeavor to help us any way you can in the short sale process as you repeatedly exclaim?
I only ask that you give me a phone call and make arrangements with me to have a key after you changed the locks so I CAN sell the home.
My sign is a fairly big sign on the property (you know the one that says FOR SALE with my company name, my name, the company number AND my number on it, along with flyers?) and you had to remove my lockbox to put it in the house, so it is not like you did not know it was not listed!!!! And then when I call the number on the very nice sticker you placed on the door - you tell me you can't talk to ME and give ME any information!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! grrrrrrrrrr.......
HELLO????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IS THERE ANYONE OUT THERE?????
