Realtor Locksmith Services

At Elmer’s Lock and Safe, we offer a wide variety of locksmith services. One of our specialties is realtor locksmith services. Check out all of the ways we help Omaha realtors and home owners/renters stay safe and secure.

Rekeying and Lock Changes

The first thing any new home owner needs to do is change the locks or have them rekeyed for safety purposes. Once a property is sold, and the realtor hands you those keys, it's time to start fresh by changing the locks or rekeying to make sure the new owners are the only ones who have a copy of that key to their front door. Another time to re-key or change locks is after an eviction. Once the evicted occupants have been removed, you want to ensure they don't return to cause harm or damage to the property.

Lock out services

When you are locked out of a property you are trying to show, or cannot access the house lock box, a professional locksmith is able to get you inside.

Lock Box Services

Whether a home has been foreclosed and is owned by the bank or the owners have moved out but still need to have the house shown, a lock box is often installed on the exterior doors of residential properties that are for sale. It provides a way for the real estate agent to access the key by using a combination to open the secured lock box that holds the key. If there is a backyard pool or gate, we are also able to place padlocks to secure those areas as well.

Evictions

One of the most shaky things a realtor encounters is having to evict an owner from a property. An eviction is never a pleasant process. Once the sheriff conducts legal processes, locksmiths help to make an eviction go smoother. It is important that the locksmith you choose is reliable and shows up once the papers are serviced, so they can secure the property.

Foreclosures

Professional locksmiths help real estate agents handle foreclosures while minimizing or eliminating the need to visit the property. The real estate agent first needs to complete an account application with the necessary agency information and include the property address and contact information. A trained foreclosure locksmith technician is then dispatched to the property and follows the instructed guidelines on the work order. Once the locksmith opens the lock, he or she will change the key combination to the lock box.

Master Key Systems

If you are a realtor showing apartments or condominiums, you may be using a master key system to open up doors to individual units to show. If you don't have a master key system in place, it's time to consider calling a knowledgeable and skilled locksmith who can install a master key system for you. A master key system allows the realtor to use one key that opens each of the individual apartment or condominium units while allowing the individual occupants to use separate keys that open only their own doors.

The real estate industry and a locksmith, work together to provide the best services and to ensure safety and security for both realtors and buyers, owners, or renters of residential housing. We would love to help those in the Omaha metro area with any of these locksmith services you may need. Contact us today!
