At least each week but, certainly at the end of a day, after showings.
Agents are notorious for leaving homes unlocked here - it's mind-boggling how careless agents are with others' property.

The answers, as you might suspect, depends on the property. "As often as necessary" also seems appropriate.

In general, no less than twice a week.

I'm with Debe. I like to check on them at the very least, once a week, but if they've had showings, I'll check at the end of the day to make sure doors are locked, windows are closed, toilets are flushed and lights are off.
Vacant properties should have their toilets flushed, maybe weekly or so, otherwise the seals might dry out and crack causing a leak.

I don't often have them and when I do a lot depends on the specific situation. Often when a listing is vacant, my sellers still live in the area and they check on their home regularly.

If the homeowners are local or have a family member I ask them to check due to liability. If they don't have anyone I will check as frequently as possible.

How often do you think I find the back slider unlocked? Don't rely on the buyer agent to do their job.

Once a week or after a showing, whichever comes first when listed. While under contract the "Supra" is usually removed for obvious reasons and I'll accompany or meet those hat need access.

Not too often anymore. I now make it more of a sellers responsibility. In the winter, I do worry about pipes, etc. Not in the spring, summer or fall.

Not often enough Paul S. Henderson, REALTOR®,CRS, especially in the winter months. During the summer my son and I mow the lawns at many of the vacant properties so I see those once a week. In the winter it would be after a snowfall when we go shovel.

That depends on the situtation and the property... typically at least a check once a week or so unless there is a courteous neighbor keeping an eye open
5,879,125
Depends on how close they are, but either I do, or recommend a neighbor check on them, active and under contract.
3,988,013
If the owner lives in town I don't worry and only check every 2-3 weeks. Out of town I check more often maybe every 7-10 days.
