It was a beautiful day to show houses. I must have shown at least 15 when we got to this condo. We had called prior and left a message for the seller as per the MLS. Get the key and open the door and we hear a beep, like the ones that say the door is open. Well we start looking around and OFF GO THE SIRENS. They 
were louder than I have ever heard before. Oh my goodness my client's son became hysterical and clung on to me for dear life. Poor little guy. I felt so bad. A police officer was next door and I certainly would have thought he would have checked to make sure all was ok but nothing happened. And you could definitely hear it from the unit next door. So we go outside and put the key back and not a single sole checked to see if all was ok. So I call the listing agent at that point and leave a message about the alarm. Well it turns out that his sellers went away for the weekend. He apologized profusely and felt horrible about the situation. They lost a potential sale as a result because we couldn't even see the unit since it was so loud.
SELLERS, IF YOU GO AWAY AND YOUR HOME IS FOR SALE, PLEASE TURN OFF THE ALARM!!!!!!!
IF IT'S AN ABSOLUTELY NECESSITY TO HAVE ONE ON HAVE THE LISTING AGENT BE THE POC AND PROVIDE THE CODE TO HIM/HER
LISTING AGENTS PLEASE TELL YOUR SELLERS TO KEEP THE ALARM OFF!!!
