Lock Boxes - Making a Home Sale Possible
If one’s home property is the single largest investment anyone will have in their single lifetime – you’d personally wonder why anyone would gamble the security of their home, the contents and the occupants in it for just mechanical lock boxes. This is the main reason why you should go for the electronic lockbox models over the mechanical types - the former is far more secure than the latter as they can provide you (the homeowner) vital information if somebody did get their hands on the home’s key beforehand. Normally, realtors are the only ones who can have access to your home and they do so by having in their possession an "electronic key" that can open the lockbox, retrieve the key and thereby, enter your home to show it to some prospect buyer. These "electronic keys" are closely monitored by a local Real Estate Board to assure that only active realtors have them.
