Funny you should say this, Jeff... because it's EXACTLY what I tell all my own sellers:  Get that front door and key fixed and working well. You know what buyers are doing while waiting for the door to get opened? They are checking out the entry and front yard and perhaps noticing all the things that need attention!!

Hi Jeff - best thing is to deal with it and make sure you have an agent you can trust.  In Carlsbad, sellers should be calling Jeff Dowler, CRS !

Oh man, if we had a few dollars for every sticky lock we've tried to open...love this list, Jeff. 

Being able to get easy and stress-free access to a home is a great start to selling it. All good points, Jeff.

Jeff all five should be common sense things to do, but sellers sometimes do not use common sense.
