I don’t trust my Estate Agent with a Key
My estate agent wants a key for my house, but I don’t want to give one to them. I want to be there for the viewings.Cathy
If you don’t trust a key to the estate agent get one that you do trust. An estate agent is a sales man/woman and if you put problems in the way then they’ll sell something that is easier to sell. Your agent is employed by you to sell your house so let them do it, if they ask for a key then let them have one.
An estate agent needs access when the buyer wants to see it. One ‘trick’ of an estate agent is to have a potential purchaser to view one property and also have the keys for another similar one, and in a lot of cases this results in a sale. If you put obstacles in the way then if you only have yourself to blame if your property doesn’t sell.
