A lockbox is the perfect way to encourage other agents to show your home to their home-buying clients. This small box attaches around your doorknob to store a key to your home. This means an agent can show your home even when you aren’t there, and without the hassle of stopping by your listing agent’s office to pick up a key. The home-buying and home-selling market in Maryland moves fast, and this is one way you can keep up with the demand.
Here’s how it works: The box is connected wirelessly to the Internet to transmit information to your listing agent, including which selling agents have entered your home and how long they stayed. A lockbox is accessible only with a specific card (similar to an ATM card) that is issued annually to an agent by the state’s licensing agency. Each agent is required to log on to the Internet each week to access a new individualized entry code that works only with his or her specific card.
