Buyer’s agents have a big job when it comes to showing houses that are on the market. Hunting for the keys can sometimes be too much of a hassle. A lock box holds the keys to the property for sale. It can be opened by all realtors with permission from the listing agent.
When selling a home it is absolutely essential that in order to have success, you must show your property to as many buyers as possible. This is the advantage of using a lock box. If you’re not going to be home, your agent can simply instruct the buyer’s agent to use a conveniently placed lock box.
These handy tools are usually placed on the front door, back door, water pipes or power meters on the side of the house. They are made with materials that have been tested for all weather conditions. They have are also extremely difficult to break into. Unfortunately, there has been the occasional theft because of these tools.
Canadian statistic shows that minimal homes are broken into by means of the lock box. If a criminal is motivated to enter your home, they usually do not take the time to break one of these devices. Instruments such as rocks and crow bars usually do a good job of breaking windows. Break inns do happen from time to time, but not often. If you are in the process of selling your home, call your local insurance agency to find out if theft by means of a lockbox is covered. In the greater Vancouver and Lower Mainland area’s it almost always is.
