Many people have reservations about allowing strangers to stroll through their home while their not home. But this is the way that showings are handled in Colorado: the buyer’s agent accompanies their buyers to your home, and you are generally not there. Is this safe?
It depends.
You can do a few things to make it safer. Your Realtor can start by embracing SentriLock, the new digital lockbox technology which requires a key card, code, and logs all visitors. One of the problems with traditional lockboxes is that once a person knows the code, they can come back anytime and you’d never know it. With digital lockboxes anyone who opens the door is logged in, and if an agent does not have a key card then they must apply for a one-day code. That code changes everyday, and everyone who asks for one is logged in the moment they use the code.
Pretty nifty, right? So far, our Boulder real estate clients just love it.
