Realtor gave our lock box code away

[Scott Pigman]

So how's this for a shady situation,

Yesterday, I'm working from home - a house which we have on the MLS as a rental.

Some realtor -- and we're still trying to figure out who exactly she was,

1. Did not schedule a showing to have her clients come view my home.

2. Did not accompany her clients when they came to my home to view it without an appointment.

3. Gave her clients her lock box code and key card so they could enter my home without an appointment and unaccompanied by a realtor.

My wife and daughter weren't home at the time. If I hadn't been home I would never have known about it unless my realtor caught it by cross referencing the lock box access logs with the showing schedule.

Oh, and the couple who came into my home could only tell me their realtor's first name. And the phone number they gave me for her turned out to be bogus.

@Scott Pigman 

  this is an EXTREME transgression from this Realtor this Realtor can lose their license for this activity at least be severely reprimanded... If they are the new key code box's there will be a way to retrieve which agents card was used to get into the box.

@Mary B.  

When your retailing a home you will normally have a lock box on it so agents can get in when no one is home ... Some home sellers will indicate they do not want a lock box and all showings must be accompanied by the listing agent or the selling agent.. at that point its the agents decision if they want to take that particular listing.

In our market for instance if your caught giving out your log in and password to access the MLS system that is a 20k fine and they do fine folks and can kick them out of multiple

As I state above for an agent to give their lock bock key code out or their device to open the box to a client is a MAJOR infraction.. What would happen if that person were a criminal or worse some type of sexual preditor  and this homeowners wife was home alone  this is why Open houses the female RE agents holding them must really be aware of their surroundings
