I see this all the time lately. The blue lockboxes are Supra boxes. They cost about $75 each.<\/p>\n
The vendor box and the front blue box belong to the current lister of the home.<\/p>\n
We do our homes this way, too, with a Supra box for Realtors, appraisers and inspectors and a vendor box for any tradesmen we send into the house — and also to have a spare key on the property. For reasons that seem obvious to us, we don’t put the two lockboxes in the same place.<\/p>\n
The blue box in back belongs to the last<\/em> listing agent, for whom the home didn’t sell.<\/p>\n I’d have to run the lockbox to know for sure, but when I see more than one blue box on a property, my assumption is that the previous agent has left the business. Otherwise, why leave a $75 asset hanging on the hose bib?<\/p>\n We’ve thought about offering $20 for the release codes for these orphaned lockboxes: A little dough for you, and we’ll pick up the lockbox.<\/p>\n A sad story, but it’s not the liquidator’s job to weep over the mess, but simply to clean it up.
