If the property you are interested in is vacant, you may obtain access to the property to inspect it by complying with the requirements on the “Get a Key to the Properties” page, which will allow you to get a key to the property for yourself and your inspectors.

In some cases, access to the property may not be available prior to making an offer because it is occupied either by the prior owner or a prior tenant who will not allow you, or us, physical access to the property.  In such circumstances, our price on this website may reflect an adjustment in the amount for any uncertainties caused by the inability to obtain access to the property for inspection.  If the property is occupied either by a prior owner or tenant, this information will be provided on the property information page.  If a property is occupied, it is strongly recommended that you do not attempt to gain access to the property.  Any contact with the current occupant of the property would be at your own risk as it is impossible to determine your safety because of the risks and hazards involved in contacting an occupant of a property who has involuntarily lost ownership of the property.  It is strongly recommended that you permit the Courts and legal system take the necessary steps to remove an occupant from the property via an eviction action and physical removal if necessary by the county sheriff.  If you desire to make an offer on a property that is occupied, our price includes the commencement of the eviction process to remove the occupants from the property, so as not to burden you with this task. If the eviction has not been completed by the time of the closing of the transaction, you will need to complete the legal action, unless otherwise agreed.
