How do contractors access after purchase

Adam Barakat

Hey BP fam!

newbie question here. How does each party during the process access the property if you are out of state? For instance the agent you work with will have access because of the lockbox on the door. However after that how do you coordinate access for all the contractors afterward? Is that something the agent will continue to do for you even after the sale? Or is that something the property management company would now be in charge of doing on your behalf?


thanks in advance!


Adam

    @Adam Barakat

    Put your own mechanical lockbox on the property.  I think there are even some electronic ones that you can do nowadays.  

    Normally, an agent won't be assisting your contractors with access after the deal is over.  The agent is no longer under contract with you and its not brokering of property.

    Good luck.
