Buying A Foreclosed Property Or Short Sale? Get A Locksmith Right Away
If you have recently purchased a home on a short sale or foreclosure, your first call when you get the new keys should be a locksmith. These types of sales usually mean the seller was in trouble and you are getting the home from the bank, and the house could have been vacant for an extended period of time.
It isn't uncommon for people to target unoccupied houses for theft. You don't know who was walking around inside the home while it was vacant or who the owner gave a key to when they were still the owners.
