FAQ

 

A. We will take care of the arrangements to get into the property. We will contact the listing company, who will then contact the seller. If the seller says it is okay for us to inspect, the listing company will give us the code to get into the property (if the listing company uses a showing service, they will give us that information). We will confirm with you when the arrangements are set.
