Obviously they don't want to be giving you a universal key yet at the same time won't have the house rekeyed ahead of time because too many sales fall through at the last minute. If I were you, I would mention at the passing that plan to have the house rekeyed yourself - have your agent let you in, her key will still work, and then either you or a locksmith can switch out the locksets to ones of your choice.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6787157690355329112.post-90854283309605430052012-02-03T21:44:49.475-07:002012-02-03T21:44:49.475-07:00I can just see me meeting the neighbors while I am...I can just see me meeting the neighbors while I am climbing through the window!Daizyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08075279944974601962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6787157690355329112.post-81792663452294459072012-02-03T21:44:09.653-07:002012-02-03T21:44:09.653-07:00I do get a final walk through.

If so, leave a window unlocked or make a copy of the key. Once you close, you own the house. Don't let anyone tell you that you have to wait three days before you can enter. That's crazy!My Frugal Miserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11044428940339154257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6787157690355329112.post-60136168895629404122012-02-03T13:20:21.187-07:002012-02-03T13:20:21.187-07:00You were right when you said that nothing goes smo...You were right when you said that nothing goes smoothly on these short sales.
