The other day I meet with some buyers. We set up to meet in Sunrise to view some HUD homes they were interested in.
I made my showings calls and all was set. We were viewing all the properties I had layed out for them. Things were going well. Once we were done with the list I had the husband asked if he coud drive me by a property they noticed the other day that was not on my list.
My reply, But of course! So we headed out to take a look and it was vacant. Perfect, and I noticed it was on Supra, Even better! Well I open my glovebox in my truck and pull out my Activekey and to my surprise DEAD. Dead as a door nail. I looked for my car charger that is usually in the glovebos as well and of course its not there.
Great now what do I do? I explained that my key is dead and my charger is not in the car. We walk around the outside of the house and peeped through the windows. It turns out the wife didn't like the house anyways because the Kitchen was to small.
Moral of the story? Make sure when you head out with buyers that your key is charged and make sure your back up is in the car. Even if none of the homes you are viewing are on Supra. You never know what you may run into!

One of the best investments I've made is getting a cell phone that also works as my key card. It is so much easier, convenient, and stress-free. It updates every night without me having to do anything. Since, I never go anywhere without my charged cell phone, then my key card is also always with me.
Irene You must have the Treo then. I have the iPhone which doesn't have the infrared. Trust me I wish it did. I would only have to carry the phone and nothing else.
Our Supra keys change code every week, so we have to put the key in the recharger for the update to occur. I've never seen a battery that can't hold a charge for at least a week, but this is a good reminder to always check before you go out with clients!
Ours update every night! So I can easily forget. I won't make the same mistake!
It's sort of like keeping a spare box of wipes and pack of diapers in the car, isn't it? You just never know when you might need them and it is soooo much better to be safe than sorry!
