A Tale About a Sacramento Lockbox

I will soon find out if bolt cutters can do the trick in removing a Supra box.  We switched to Sentrilock several years ago and my good friend Cindy Jones had a lockbox that got lost in the shuffle during that time.  It's on a listing up the street from me.  We should film us trying to remove it when we finally do.

If the lock box were removed, so what, they still have to get inside.  I have seen several vacant homes that had the door knob broken off the remove the lock box and the thieves still did not get into the house.  If the home were occupied, by the time the bad guys got the box cut in two to remove the key the house should have been re-keyes.  The other protection is that the electronic key box keeps track of who has been there and used an ekey type of device to open the box.  Much more secure than the combo boxes that a lot op people only reset one number and call that safe.  No lock box, no listing.  That's just how I work.

I don't pay my agents until they bring the lockbox back to me.  (Mine belong to the brokerage, not the agent), but that no lockbox, no signs, no check policy works pretty good for getting them removed.

Agents in our area use them extensively for selling houses, but when you are selling condos, it is very rare that you see them due to restrictions set forth by the associations

Yea Elizabeth they make those things out of something else.  I've had a couple die on me and cutting those off is something not easily done
