If you cannot afford an electronic lock box don't take the listing.

I am, since I had to break into one for an agent in our office two weeks ago. This is the reason I will only use Supra boxes on my lisings.

Oh yeah. Combo boxes are also easy to just cut off with bolt cutters.
I want Supra boxes on listings - or key in the office.
If we MUST (as with REOs) have a combo for the contractors/vendors . . . they are VERY well concealed.

Hi Buzz Mackintosh. I don't use the combo coxes and hadn't thought about hacking them - though I'm not at all surprised some have done it and, of course, shared it in a video..
Thanks for sharing!

Not all of them are easy to pick. Sellers decide what type of lockbox they want on their house, or no lockbox at all. No type lockbox will stop someone from getting into a house if they want to break in.

I learned from a video online. I kept having lockboxes left by bank REO preservation companies. I learned how to get them off so I could free up the lockset for my buyers. Ultimately, they ended up in my lockbox collection.

Combo or Electric box, neither is secure. I can break open an electric box and grab the key in less than 10 seconds. Combo boxes, 7 seconds.

Clint Eastwood would be a heck of a magnum force in real estate entry. Just sayin'. Locked house, no showing... everyone stand back, hold your ears, close your eyes. There may be splinters, some shrapnel. But we're going to show you every square inch of this dirty but nice home listing.
