I want to see your garage

We have a lot of homes in the city with detached garages.  If your home is on the market and the garage is detached, please leave a key or garage door opener out where buyers and their agents can find it.  Often we are unable to look at the garage when touring a home because there is no way to get into it.  Most buyers will not write an offer on a home until they see everything,  and that does include the garage. 

Newer homes have attached garages.  Often the seller goes from garage to house through a connecting door that is always left unlocked.  Sellers should make sure that they have house keys with them when they leave because of a showing.  Most REALTORS know enough not to lock the door between the garage and the house but our buyers sometimes lock the door.
