We’ve seen a lot of homes sold in Boca Pointe of late, which means we’re seeing a lot of associated vendor and relator activity. The last thing we want to do is be a hindrance to this process, but we would like to remind everyone of some best practices and rules regarding vendors and realtors.

First and foremost, open access is not permitted at any Boca Pointe gate. This includes open access for an open house or other similar events. However, we do allow ‘open access’ to realtors (+ buyers) provided that:

1. a listing agreement has been filed with BPCA for the relevant address and, 

2. prospective buyers enter property with a realtor who has realtor credentials.

The main takeaway being that prospective buyers cannot enter Boca Pointe property without a realtor, and the property must have an active listing agreement filed with Boca Pointe Community Association in order to do so.

Check with your village / management company for any additional restrictions your village may have regarding realtor and buyer access to property.

If you are expecting adjusters, or any other vendors entering your home during this process, ensure they are listed on the guest list. The listing agent for your property MAY add vendors to the guest list provided that you indicate this when sending the listing agreement. This authority will only last until either the home is sold or until the listing agreement expires.

In general, we encourage residents to only list vendors for the days they expect them on property. This is especially true for short-term vendors like someone giving an estimate or an adjuster. We understand it might be a pain to list your vendors each time you expect them—but this is the best practice for our security program to function optimally.

Finally, BPCA must be informed when the home is sold, in a timely manner, so that we can update our records and ensure the new owner(s) do not have any issues entering property.
