Yes, but they must be official members of our association and mls. The top inspectors in our area all do have supra keys at this point in time (just like the appraisers). 

Yes, but few seem to have one. They must belong to the MLS association.

If they are registered with the local Assoc. then yes

Only if they are members of the Board of REALTORS(r).

Yes and I love them having access. 

If the inspectors become a member of the local MLS, then they have access to the same boxes we have.

No unless they are willing to pay dies to the local association 

Some do most don't.  

 Good Saturday morning Debbie. Yes!

Nop, unless they belong to a MLS association.

Yes, they have to register and  pay for them and maybe even need to be affiliate members. 

They can if they pay dues to our local association.

Well in my small area, we know the home inspectors. Although I'm there to let the inspector in. We don't generally stick around for the home inspections due to the liability that an agent can take on. 

If they join the MLS they can. 

I do not know the answer for our area. I would have to check on the requirements.

Debbie, the answer is no. Like other agents we have been asking for a switch to SentriLock which allows for a limited entry with a one time keypad entry code. Right now we have Supra.

Yes.  And many do.

Debbie Reynolds We can issue a home inspector a one day code to gain access.

Yes, and most do.

Debbie,
In my Houston market they are because we have state licenses for inspectors. They have to be fingerprinted and have back ground checks just like agents.

Since Colorado does not license inspectors and there are no background checks or fingerprints, they can’t have keys unless they hold an RE license.

Good morning Debbie,

Yes, which makes it very nice. (MLS members)

Here in Northern Virginia, they can join as an Associate member and use their Sentrilock card, though it seems most don't.

Yes, they all have them here. I haven't had to attend a walk-through for some time now. 

We have several who have key cards but we are still required to be at home inspections...

Yes.  They must be auxiliary mls members.

"Allowed"?   Good question -- they would have to be a member of the local association and pay for access.  

Yes, if they register with the board of realtors. Ours need a CBS code from the listing agent for access, so they can't just use them on all lockboxes, they need permission and a code

Not to the best of my knowledge!

Good morning Debbie. I have never seen a home inspector be allow to us a lockbox. They must me accompanied.

Debbie Reynolds not in our area.

I wonder why should they have the access to homes?

It's agent's responsibility to give them access.

Yes, they can register as an affiliate and get them.  Most don't.  It's not worth the steep fees our board charges, especially when most realtors meet them at the property anyways.

I give contractors codes or  1 day codes for Sentrilocks in both California and Hawaii. Will have to double check on your question, though. Don't think so and that would be disturbing. For one, home inspectors are not state licensed in California.

We have only a few electronic lockboxes, but our inspectors do get the entry information.

If they pay the fee, the get the key.

If they join the MLS as an affiliate member they can.

Electronic lock boxes are not used in my area.

No and i hope they never do. I attend every inspection and would not want them alone in my listings. No offense to the inspectors, but i want to see what they see and hear what they say

no, and I hope that doesn't happen in the future....

No,  no..no. Big no-no. Definitely not.

No, definitely not.

We lowly Realtors don't even have that yet in my area!!!

As long as they are a member of the board and have to follow the rules as such.

I believe they can if they are an affiliate to the board. 

Good question.  I dont know if they are "allowed" or not, just that i dont know any that do.  For our local MLS, need to be a licensed agent to have key safe which might explain why I have not seen a home inspector yet with one.  Wish they did, could make my life a lot easier!  I do know of one termite inspector that has her key, great not having to schedule that inspection on top of all the others.
