Keys, Keys, Keys
I don’t recall ever being confronted with 3(!) deadbolt locks before — the case at an Edina duplex I showed earlier this week.
Figuring out which one worked is just one of the challenges that Buyers’ agents face.
First, they need to pop open the lockbox that contains all those keys.
Step #2 (actually, #3): once they’ve opened the building’s outer door, figure out which key(s) open each of the units.
Next, the agent needs to figure out how to get in the garage, if it’s detached (the case here).
Finally, they need to perform steps #1 – #4 in reverse, to make sure the property is locked up afterwards.
All the while chatting with their client.
Can you say, “multi-task??”
Of course, the very first step is getting to the right address, after navigating the various detours and road construction projects clogging Twin Cities roads this Summer.
P.S.: Fortunately, in this case the top deadbolt did the trick.
