Sellers are usually uncomfortable with a lock box and are eager to have it removed as soon as the house is under contract. There will not be any showings once we have your home under contract, but many poeple will need access to your home. It will be more convenient for the agent if the lock box is on until all the contingensies have been satisfied, unless you work from home and do not mind being there to let them in.
You will be informed of all inspections in advance .
1. The home inspector, the radon and termite inspectors etc. The agents accompany the buyers and the inspectors. The inspector has to come again in a few days to pick up the radon kit.
2.The bank appraiser will come in a few days. He takes measurements and pictures of the interior and exterior.
3.The home insurance company usually sends a representative.
4.If there are issues with home inspection , more inspectors or contractors will have to come to give estimates .
After the above inspections it is safe to remove the lockbox and then have it installed again the day before settlement for the final walk thru on day of inspection.
When you read about events please check the year for the event as some people find information a year later and think it is for that year. . The posts remain online even after the event.
