Shirley's San Antonio Real Estate Blog: Buyers: Even If It Seems Like a Good Idea, It's Not

As a Buyer's Agent, I can understand how exciting it is to look for homes! I'm sure there are days when you spend hours surfing the Internet looking for that "perfect" house or weekends driving up and down streets calling on signs to see how much a seller is asking for a particular house.

There are times, I'm sure, that you've even stopped your car in front of a vacant home and peeked in the windows. Maybe, you've even checked the doors to see if they are unlocked...and quite possibly, you may have been tempted to go into the house unaccompanied by a Real Estate agent.

I CAUTION YOU:

Trespassing is illegal.

Under no circumstances should you enter the house without being accompanied by a Real Estate agent.

 

I'm not saying this to scare you, but rather to make you aware that if you are caught in the house without being accompanied, you may get charged with Trespassing.

In addition, you may be the one who is accused of vandalising the property days after your "visit", questioned if the dishwasher has gone missing or held for questioning if there is a reported crime in the house.

So, even if the window is open, the front door is unlocked or the listing agent gave you the code to the combination lock (which they could lose their license for), you should make sure you contact your REALTOR to schedule an appointment to see the property so that the showing is recorded and you are protected.

If you don't have an agent, call or text me at (321) 377-0157 for all homes in Lake Mary, Winter Springs, Sanford, Longwood, Altamonte Springs, Oviedo, Debary, Baldwin Park, College Park, Winter Park, and Windemere and I'll arrange to get you legal access to the homes and keep you out of jail!
