A little advice to all home sellers: When choosing an agent to sell your home, please make sure that they have a full service showing service or company behind them. Some agents (with small and large firms alike) do not bother submitting the listing to a true listing service (saves a couple of bucks) and instead rely on their cell phone to take a message and call back at a latter time that may no longer be appropriate for the showing agent.

Here are some possible problems and what to do about them: If the CODE and ERROR lights alternate after you enter a 1 day code, you've entered an incorrect code. You should verify the code with the owner of the lockbox. If pressing the ENT key in step 1 above does not wake up the lockbox (that is, the lockbox keypad does not light up), the lockbox owner may have locked the keypad (either with or without intending to). Normally the lockbox unlocks its keypad when a showing agent inserts his or her SentriCard®. Since you are using a 1 day code, you probably do not have a SentriCard®. You can unlock the keypad by inserting a c...

Spring home buyers are pounding the pavement at a furious pace, but the pickings are getting ever slimmer.
