7 Comments on How Lockboxes Work
It's the biggest hide and seek game in real estate. It absolutely shows that an agent is considerate to tell the buyer agent just where to find it. And then there are the lock boxes located near the rocks and the ground and upside down!!! That's fun too. :-)
Sometimes trying to find a lock box is like an Easter egg hunt! lol

With E-Boxes, it is much easy to ascertain and verify who have accessed the property simply by generating reports. They do provide an added feeling of security.
Good point - and on my listings - if the lock-box is somewhere other than the front door, I put that info in the listing. I actually had an agent call me the other day - he was at my listing and he said there was no lock-box.
My exact words - "Turn left and look down - it is at your feet attached to the iron rail."
Yes, the great lockbox hunt! Up here in the Northwest, it's always fun tromping through the rain trying to find it behind the bushes on the hose bib or some equally obscure place. I do understand why some homeowners are worried the box will scuff the door or door jamb, so one of the nicest solutions I've seen up here is where a small 4x4 post is placed right next to the walk w/ a circle hook for the keybox to be attached to. It's classy and easy to access.....which I appreciate because when I have stick my butt in the air to access a keybox, it's not a pleasant site ;-)
