Why Easy Realty Chooses Simple Lockboxes Over Costly Tech
At Easy Realty, our mission is clear: keep real estate simple, affordable, and client-focused. That philosophy extends to how we handle property access. While many brokerages have embraced electronic lockboxes, we’ve taken a different path—one that avoids unnecessary costs and limitations.
The Hidden Issues with Electronic Lockboxes
Electronic lockboxes sound modern, but they come with real drawbacks. They’re expensive, requiring upfront purchase, ongoing subscription fees, and maintenance. These costs ultimately burden agents and clients, inflating transaction expenses without adding meaningful value.
Beyond cost, electronic lockboxes are restrictive. They often require apps, Bluetooth, or cellular service to function. Worse, they assume only licensed agents need access. In reality, appraisers, surveyors, home inspectors, and contractors frequently need entry—and they don’t have keys. This limitation has forced lockbox operators to introduce workarounds, such as temporary codes or app-based guest access. If the system needs a workaround to function, it begs the question: why use it at all?
The Logic of Simplicity
Easy Realty uses high-quality combination lockboxes because they’re practical, secure, and cost-effective. They don’t rely on batteries or connectivity, and they allow controlled access for all authorized parties without complicated tech hurdles. Security isn’t compromised—codes are updated regularly, and access is monitored through agent communication.
Moreover, today’s homes often have doorbell cameras, adding an extra layer of security. So electronic lockboxes aren’t making properties safer; they’re just another way to extract fees from agents already burdened by costs.
Breaking Away from the Fee Model
This is why Easy Realty operates as a non-Realtor-affiliated brokerage. We reject the traditional model that piles on unnecessary expenses under the guise of “innovation.” Our approach is lean, logical, and client-first. By avoiding overpriced gadgets and association fees, we keep real estate accessible and affordable.
In the end, real estate should be about people, not tech gimmicks. A simple combination lockbox does the job—securely, reliably, and without draining wallets. That’s the Easy Realty way: practical solutions that make sense.
