Snowing In Cottonwood Heights

Well we had our first GOOD snow for the season. Several things are noticed, people have their ski clothes on, and bus stops along Ft Union Blvd are full of those not old enough to drive as they are headed up the Canyons.

Yes it is winter time, Thanksgiving is over there is snow on the ground and it is cold.

Now this brings us to another point, the hidden keybox.  You know the one's on the side of the house on the gas meter. Not so bad in the nice weather, but with several inches of snow on the ground it is not such a good thing, which brings to thinking.

Why on God's green earth would you hide the keybox? I would love to be a fly on the wall when that conversation took place. The agent says to the sellers, you see Mr. and Mrs. Seller one of strategies to get the home sold is, I make it difficult to show. What possible logic could there be? You go traipsing around the yard looking for the key, ruining a good pair of shoes and you open the door and there is a sign, please take of your shoes.

One of the basic fundamentals of getting your home sold is accessibility. When I run across these situations, I start to think if the listing agent makes it difficult to show, how challenging they are going to be if we try to buy the house.
