I really don't see the problem. As the banks now require DNA samples from both buyers and sellers he was just trying to facilitate a smooth transaction. Completely professional and proactive!

Wow! That guy was super creepy. Makes me glad we don't use lock boxes in my town. All the showings are accompanied.

Compare how the buyers are blamed for such intrusions:

Buyer or agent doesn't matter here. It doesn't matter who you are because intrusions like this are inexcusable.

In that thread it was universally said that such intrusions aren't appropriate at an open house. Which was also supported by many consumers on this forum. There was no blaming going on. It was a discussion about what should be done when regarding appliances, turning on faucets etc.. Discussions involve differing opinions.

I get that you don't like agents, and that is fine, but you look ridiculous when you don't read a thread for what it is. Twisting it to support your intense hate doesn't make you look like you can carry on an intelligent discussion of issues. You obviously have things to say about real estate agents, so say them in a way that contributes to the discussion rather than just spewing vile all the time. It doesn't help your cause of eliminating real estate agents from the face of the earth. It just makes you look like you should belong to the tin foil club.

So back to this thread...this guy is creepy and when I read about this situation yesterday, I heard that he was charged with carrying a burglary device too. The e-key.

as of the day this hit the news, his license was still active with the state (even though iirc, the article said he had been suspended)..

Although not recommended, this was one of the reasons I bought my new house before selling the old one. Moved out all of my personal stuff and put the old house on a lock box.

Smart. And I certainly hope that homeowners stash ALL papers... anything that could be used for IDENTITY THEFT somewhere hidden/safe/locked... And I'd definitely have a camera on that spot, just in case.
