Lockboxes allow agents to quickly and easily show listings. The keys are handily stored right at the listing, resulting in more showings and quicker sales.

Since electronic lockboxes record who's opened them, if something is missing or the cat has been let out, listing agents have an audit trail of who's been in and when. Supra boxes have been instrumental in helping solve thefts.

Knowing who's been in also gives the listing agent a marketing tool. Follow up with prospective buyers and find out why they didn't make an offer. Maybe new paint or carpet will make the difference on a written offer.

With the ability to customize access hours in an electronic lockbox, day sleepers and latchkey kids needn't be disturbed by agents who might just drop by.

For the agent: A KeyBox on the property eliminates the need to drive all over town picking up and returning listing keys. This in turn means more showings that result in quicker sales.

The KeyBox captures information of who's entered a listing. Knowing and having access to this information can help an agent better position a property to sell. Carpet allowances and new paint are easy changes that may make a difference on whether or not a property moves quickly.

For the homeowner: A KeyBox on the property tracks agent entries and provides a reliable system for security during the real estate selling process. A home is typically the single largest investment a person will make during their lifetime. Why would anyone trust the security of their home, the contents and the occupants with a mechanical lockbox? An electronic lockbox helps keep folks accountable. A KeyBox provides access thereby resulting in a quicker sale.
