I don't know about you, but this Sacramento REALTOR is thrilled that her reluctant participation in the MetroList iBox exchange is over. When we were hit with the news between our eyes, it was a bit of a shock to discover that not only were we hosed by having to exchange our lockboxes, not one for one like our last lockbox exchange, but instead two for one. On top of that, we don't own the lockboxes we exchange.
Myrl Jeffcoat called earlier to say the deal at her lockbox exchange appeared to be that MetroList was charging each subscriber $15 a month per lockbox. Or, at least that's what some MetroList employee at Cal Expo told everybody when she was there. I assured her that was not true. The $15 monthly fee is for the Activity Key.
We had a little trouble finding the right entrance to the MetroList iBox exchange. The MetroList website said we should enter at the East Gate. But there was no map. If you've ever driven around Cal Expo, then you know there is an East entrance off of Hurley and Ethan, which is where we went. Turns out they meant the eastern-most gate of all the gates on Exposition Boulevard. No wonder so many real estate agents were lost.
