Lockbox-good or bad?

We get this question a lot. And the answer is YES.

Buyer's agents prefer to show homes that have lockboxes. And imagine if an agent has a buyer for your home. But, can not show your home when it is convenient for them. They will tend to skip or save your house last to show. And the worst part about that is, their buyer may put an offer on another home, before ever seeing yours. And your home could have been everything they wanted, but they never bothered with your home because you didn't make it easy to show.

Here are some of the benefits to having a Lockbox

Programmable
Only operates during certain hours of the day
Security
Only licensed Realtors can use it
Records time and date of every agent that accesses it
Allows you the freedom of not having to be there every time an agent comes to show the property.
Electronic lockbox only
Don’t have to make appointments and wait around for an agent that may never show up or have the courtesy to call and notify you they’re not coming
Most Agents prefer to show houses that have a lockbox.

Most every seller has them
