I HATE using them! Here at 360 Realty, we do not use the Supra lockboxes on any of our homes, and have no plans to in the future. We however do show homes with e-keys and have the equipment to do so.
WHY you ask? We feel that you limit the amount of people that will show and sell your home. Here is a likely scenario... I was showing 6 homes to my clients on a Saturday afternoon, and all were combo lockboxes. I did not have my e-key with me, (14 comments)

realtor: Are you an OLD School Realtor or NEW School??? POLL
- 07/22/08 07:28 AM
Old School versus NEW School Some folks like the old days, and some like the technology of today. I wanted to see which group most people are fond of, and this is my poll...(you can be a mix of them, that is fine!)
Old School Realtors drive Mercedes and BMW's. New School Realtors drive Fuel Efficient Cars or Hybrids/Smart Cars. Which one are you?
Old School Realtors prefer the telephone for business dealings or a fax machine. New School Realtors use email, texting, and prefer to do business online. Which one are you?
Disclose, Disclose, Disclose!!!!! This is the most important part of our jobs as real estate agents. The more you reveal, the less you are personally liable for. If you do not know the answer to a question, TELL the truth. It is much better to tell a client that you "Do not know the answer, but would be happy to find out for them". Be FREE to be creative! Always look for new ways to get your name out there. Do not limit yourself to a specific mold that (1 comments)
realtor: CRAZY BPO of the week....
- 07/07/08 07:03 AM
Okay, so I got quite a bit of response from my "Surprised by a BPO" post last week and decided I would show new BPO's I am doing each week. I will take out any addresses to save these homes from embarrasment! This week's BPO... It may not look THAT bad...but this house gave me fleas. I was wearing a sundress and left with a leg full of flea bites. I took my hubby with me on this one because it was a rougher side of town, and he was thrilled to accompany me...let me tell you! Every room was a (2 comments)
realtor: How I FINALLY got my BPO's to turn into LISTINGS! :)
- 07/03/08 11:46 AM
Hi all, SO we are all BPO Champions here, I am sure!!! In a month, we do between 50-100 and it can sometimes be a little stressful. Well, I decided I wanted to get into selling REO's, so I decided to attend a REOMAC conference. I went and learned very little, but the few contacts I picked up were really worth it in the end. Mostly though, it was hard core networking and lots of mojitos with asset managers and other Realtors. It did not immediately break, but slowly I started getting one BPO here and one BPO there.

realtor: BNI Works! The Best way to get MORE Referrals!
- 07/01/08 06:59 AM
I recently joined the Rainmakers Chapter of BNI here in Greensboro, NC! BNI stands for Business Networking International, and is a world wide organization. Only one person per occupation can join...so if you take the Realtor seat YOU are the ONLY Realtor. It has been one of the most profitable decisions I have made this year as far as advertising dollars and return on investment. It cost me about $450 for the first year with dues, etc, but I just got a referral for a listing and it went under contract in 3 days. My commission will be $4,707 on (6 comments)
