KeyBox System

Members of the Columbus Board of REALTORS® (CBR) use an electronic KeyBox system to provide access to real estate professionals showing listed property.

The KeyBox hangs on a listing property and holds the key to the property. A special keypad is used to open the KeyBox to get the key. The central computer tracks all KeyBox activity.

The electronic KeyBox system offers a number of advantages...

Security ? The KeyBox is controlled electronically and uses codes to allow access by authorized personnel only. The KeyBox controls the hours during which a listing can be accessed and validates access privileges. Keypad holders must update their keypads daily.

Convenience ? Authorized REALTORS®, appraisers, inspectors, etc. who have joined the system can access the KeyBox for showings, appraisals, inspections, etc. via their keypad instead of having to drive back and forth to get the keys or require the listing agent to meet them at the property.

Tracking ? When a SuperKey is placed in the KeyBox, the SuperKey owner?s name, office, telephone number and time entered are recorded in the KeyBox. This way, listing agents are able to track the time and date of every entry to the listed property. After the information is recorded, which takes just six seconds, the key to the property will drop down from the bottom of the KeyBox.

This is a very useful function because if the key to the property was not returned to the KeyBox, the listing agent can read the KeyBox to find out who was the last entrant and call the entrant to locate the key.

Those entering the property must still call the listing agent to schedule a showing appointment. Those who do not call to schedule a showing appointment can be fined and eliminated from the system.
