Why I DON'T use a lockbox

Dear member,
Early this morning a West Vancouver real estate office was subject to a break-and-enter. One Supra lock box key, pin number and instructions have been reported stolen. The sole intent of this break-in appears to have been to obtain lock box access. The security of all Supra lock boxes across Greater Vancouver and the Fraser Valley has been compromised as a result of this apparently targeted theft. Supra has informed us that there is no way to disable the key, so it will continue to be active until midnight tonight, after which time it will no longer function.
Members are advised to consider removing lock boxes from properties for today. We will send more information as it becomes available.

Why isn't your Realtor showing your home themselves? Isn't that what you are paying them for?
