Real Estate Tips from Bob Rich-House-Key and Lockbox

How can your home, which is listed for sale, be shown when you are not home (which is probably the best time to show it)? The answer is to leave your key with the listing broker. It would only be used when you are not at home or on your special instructions. The lister will notify other brokers that the key is available and keep careful track of who borrows it. Otherwise, your home is effectively off the market for those periods.

In some areas, it is common to use lock boxes for properties whose owners are often absent. The lock box is a gadget attached to your door with your key inside. It can be opened by a special key carried by cooperating brokers and then it is a simple matter to show your house when you are not at home. While the lock box system works well, many prefer to limit its use to vacant houses. A lock box on a door has sold many a home because of the ease and the spontaneity it adds to house hunting.

Real Estate Tips from Bob Rich-Why Title Search Again?

When you buy real estate, you may wonder why a title has to be searched when it was probably done many times before, especially if it’s an older home. If you are taking out a mortgage, the question is academic. The lender will require a title search to protect its investment. The search will attempt to answer the following question:

1. Is the seller the legal owner of the property? 
2. Is the legal description of the property accurate?
3. Are there any municipal or contractor liens?
4. Does anyone else claim an ownership interest?
5. Are there any easements which could affect property?

The answers to these questions may not always be black and white. To cover gaps, many buyers find it comforting to protect their purchase with title insurance. Title insurance offers protection against court costs and judgments resulting from title defects.
