If it takes a whole page of instructions for an agent to get into your house, then you should consider fixing the problem. There’s nothing more detrimental to a buyer’s first impression than having a hard time getting into a house, to be fighting a lock or sticky door. Already, in a Buyer’s mind, there’s stuff to be fixed. You’ve just given a buyer the impression that you don’t take good care of the place, and the sales price is plummeting in a Buyer’s mind as they add up the cost of imagined repairs - all before we even step foot in the house.

They will have to fix it/ replace it anyway after the inspection. Might was well fix the door now and get some enjoyment out of it.

Haha… talk about bad impressions. I hate when you have to do the “hokey pokey” to open a door!
