Should You Let Your Realtor ® Put a Lockbox
on Your Tampa Florida Home for Sale
What is it and why is it useful ?
A "Lockbox" is a "locked box" containing a key to your home. Lockboxes come in a variety of types from mechanical
types to electronic units that provide your Realtor® with information on who showed your home.
The electronic types are in common use in the Tampa real estate market today. They are generally placed somewhere easily located by a Realtor®
who wants to show your home. Only those with a Realtor's "electronic key" can open the lockbox and enter your home. These "electronic keys"
are closely controlled by the Tampa Real Estate Board to assure that only active Realtors® have them.
"Having a lockbox on your house makes it convenient for other Realtors® to show it," say the authors of the Your Listing Contract specifies whether or not you will allow a lockbox to be installed. If you still have concerns about allowing a lock box, ask your Tampa Florida Realtor to demonstrate one for you.
