As a homeseller you should know who will be at the showings to ensure your home is secure. This is a legitimate question and one that deserves the utmost care.
However, it is common in areas of BC to use an onsite key box for access. It is less commonly used in our busy urban centres and cities. Although it’s unpleasant to think about the need for greater security in the urban environment, key boxes are not invulnerable and could be prone to break-ins or theft. There’s a genuine fear a key box could allow unwanted guests to gain access to your home. understandably, many homeowners feel uneasy with the notion of key boxes. This is why we offer personally hosted showings at Dogwood Realty.
Besides adding peace of mind knowing we’ll open up and lock up on your behalf. Personally hosted showings give us the chance to meet your potential buyers! It’s invaluable to gather feedback directly from buyers themselves. Buyers often openly express their interest in a property during a viewing. Seeing the buyers while they experience the home gives us valuable insight that we otherwise wouldn’t have.
In addition, personally hosted showings allow for a more personalized showing experience. It helps potential buyers feel more comfortable asking questions. When buyers know the showing host is knowledgeable and well-versed in the home, they can rely on getting information quickly. Rather than waiting for a reply via text or email, being there in person speeds up the transfer of information buyers need to make a purchasing decision.
