Giving My New BOX BELT A Test Run For My Hard To Place Lockbox
There are times when you have a listing where finding good placement of a lockbox can be difficult. Here in the Portland Metro area, it's not uncommon to have to wade through mulch and shrubbery (often wet from rain) and having to bend way down to open a lockbox that's hanging on the hose bib or gas meter. I do understand why a seller would not want a lockbox on the front door, so this gives some options.
A local REALTOR® (and fellow AR'er) Patrick Krause, owner of Soldera Properties, has invented a gadget called the Box Belt which gives you the availability to hang your lockbox from odd shaped places or perhaps front entry beam posts that are at eye level. I'm giving one a try at my wonderful floating home listing where lockbox placement can be dicy if hanging on a rail where the key can accidently fall into the water.
I purchased two Box Belts as well as two cables for areas that I'd be more concerned with theft..athough anyone that is really looking to steal a lockbox will be able to with a pair of bolt cutters. So far it's working well since the only other place for me to hang the lockbox was the hose bib. If you want to check it out, head over to BoxBelt.com!
