It's Alarming!
I was out with a buyer one recent weekday morning and we had just pulled up to the first house. I was under the impression this was on a non-standard lockbox, and had not written down a code, so I called the office to confirm.  Nope, on a Supra lockbox, so no code needed. 
We are checking out the adjacent properties, and the condition of the exterior of the property, waiting for her other half to show up.
Open the lockbox, and open the door, only to be greeted with the BEEP BEEP BEEP of an alarm system.....
I HAVE NO ALARM CODE! NO ONE TOLD ME THERE WAS AN ALARM!
Of course, my first thoughts are to close the door (as though that will do something to shut the alarm up!), and call the listing office.
Now, at this point, I've called the listing office a total of 3 times and at no point did anyone tell me this property had an alarm system.
I know this is a sore point among sellers and agents, and it's pretty much divided into two camps:
Why can't the Realtor just deal with the alarm system, and re-set it when they leave? Why ... more
