There are all kinds of lock boxes that can be used when you put your Loveland home on the market. These boxes, ranging from combination, to pin code, to keyed, to electric, allow Loveland real estate agents to show your home when you are not there or even after you have moved, while still keeping your home safe from vandals.

Or so you would think. But all of that hinges on the common sense of your Loveland real estate agent, who is in charge of the codes or keys for your lock box.

It just so happens, that if you don’t use the electric kind, which can only be opened with an electric key available to Loveland Realtors-you might still be at risk from thieves.
