Leads From A Lockbox

[ by David Riewe ]
Funny how a certain device such as a lockbox could change one's business and yes, even life. For real estate agents, a lockbox is as important as it is instrumental to acquiring leads.

A lockbox is made up of metal that can be attached to the doorknob or anywhere secure. Inside the hollow box is a smaller box that holds the house key. The container comes out upon the opening of the lockbox.

A real estate lockbox is convenient, securing the listing key, essential documents and other pertinent materials of real estate agents. Available in mechanical and electronic forms, it contains information that can help manipulate and even skyrocket real estate sales. But usually, an electronic lockbox is preferred as it can hand out day lockout time and register information.

Here are more reasons why a lockbox drives real estate leads:

1. It assures real estate agents' greater performance.

A lockbox is very innovative and imaginative that real estate agents depend on it for maximum security of files and other documents. As it prevents the real estate agent from hopping from one town to another giving and getting back the keys, it becomes more than a device.

It urges professionalism and productivity, enabling the real estate agents to be at their best before the buyers, sellers and customers.

2. It provides convenience.

Why is a lockbox very convenient? It enables the agents to swiftly provide listings. This translates to greater sales and less effort from the agents' part.

3. It guarantees maximum security.

A lockbox prevents theft. It can determine what is missing as the real estate agents refer to the audit trail.

4. It gives the real estate agents complete control.

An electronic lockbox can do the following: register the name, date, time, office and the number of the person who has opened it. Real estate agents can even acquire full-blown customization: from providing the hour when the lockbox can be opened to shutting down the keys if it is stolen or simply, lost.

Even the homeowner himself benefits from the lockbox which is also called keybox.

5. It simply coordinates and takes care of the sale.

Let's put it this way. Without a lockbox, real estate business would dwindle and stagnate.

The aforementioned reasons state why a lockbox encourages real estate leads. Who would have thought it would create this much impact? Lockbox equates to real estate leads and so far, no one has ever forgotten about that.

    I've never figured out how you trace through a lock box what has happened at a showing by another agent when you are not present. I have had situations where items in the house have been broken, doors left open, carpets stained with muddy shoes, lights left on, etc.

    I've never seen a lockbox big enough to store documents as stated in the article. Other than that, the electronic lockboxes in use in my region are terrific for the data they collect. It offers my clients an extra sense of security. I also like having the ability to manipulate the data I want via computer.

    Lockboxes can be useful; but it is assumed that the listing agent will not be present at showings; Sellers hire their listing agents, one would hope, for their expertise and local knowledge of their property, qualities of the area, to SELL the property; I use lockboxes as a back up, so that I can accomodate a request to show one of my listings, even if I can't be there. My practise is to be there, and not only represent my Seller, but to read the response of the potential Buyer and even their Agent, so that I can get real feedback on price, condition and market to my client.
