Do You Need A Lockbox?

“I’m talking to agents about selling my home and one said I don’t need a lockbox for agents to see my home. Won’t it be harder to sell my home without one?”

***ANSWER:
You’re right. And any agent who (except for special cases) tells a homeseller not to use a lockbox is doing them an awful disservice.

Some agents “sell” the seller on how they’ll make the process private, convenient, and unobtrusive. They say, “if a buyer is serious, they’ll change their schedule to see your home.” Or “I’ll meet people at your home for showings.”

Sounds great, but…

The reality is too often the seller’s agent never even calls back to schedule a showing. Or the seller can’t be reached so the home can’t be shown. Or the buyer is only available on their lunch break, but the seller’s agent can’t make it til 3pm.

Homebuyers and their agents are just too busy today to bend their schedules around for a hard-to-see home. They just move on to the next one–costing sellers of hard-to-show homes $1,000’s from lack of showings, and sometimes resulting in NO SALE.

To sell your home faster, easier, and for the most money, I and other experts advise you to use a lockbox.
