Jay Gallagher
Real Estate Broker
In this guide, I explore and review the Best Real Estate Agent Lockbox along with my best picks noted.
Realtor Lockboxes are the easiest and safest way to allow agents and their potential buyers access to your listing to get it sold fast.
While traditional lockboxes are still popular, many agents are finding that Bluetooth enabled lockboxes are better for tracking who enters your listings and who has access to the keys.
I answer the following questions:
- What lockbox do realtors use?
- Which real estate agent lockbox is the best one?
- Which Bluetooth lockbox is best?
- Which Realtor lockbox integrates with ShowingTime?
- Where are real estate agent lockboxes for sale?

This lockbox is much easier to read and use, especially at the awkward angle lockboxes sit at while on the doorknob.
The combination of numbers and letters lets you use words or numbers as the code.
One downside is that this lockbox is less durable and sometimes agents don’t lock it properly because you have to enter the code in again to lock it unlike the others.
6. Iron Lock Lockbox
Stylish All Black or Traditional Grey
- Available in all Black or Black/Grey
- Vinyl Coated Shackle
- Roomy Interior holds 5 Keys

- Shackle or Wall Mount or Cable Mount
Why is this The Best Real Estate Agent Lockbox?
The newest lockbox available comes in a couple of different color options. The all black has a very stylish appearance but when the black weather cover is over the combination, some agents may not be able to see it and you may get some calls about not being able to access the property.
The all black wall mount is perfect for blending into the background and becoming almost invisible to the casual passerby.
Available in a smaller cable mount too.

Best for Buying in Bulk

These are the REO Industry lockbox of choice for a reason. They’re inexpensive.
These lockboxes are the best cheap alternative as long as you understand what you’re getting.
These are very easy to pop open to get the key. They don’t have a vinyl coated shackle which increases the chance of damage to the door.
I would recommend only putting these on vacant homes where you don’t have to worry about minor door dings and that don’t have any valuables inside.

- Integrates BrokerBay Showing Management System
- Available as Shackled and Wall Mount
Why is this The Best Real Estate Agent Lockbox?
This isn’t a just lockbox, this is part of your new showing management system. This is why it’s the only lockbox I use, even on my REO’s.
Once you use this lockbox you will never go back especially if your MLS uses either ShowingTime or BrokerBay showing scheduling systems.
Even without those showing systems, you have access to the MasterLock App that allows you full control of the time sensitive and unique, expirable codes.
Lockbox keys will stop disappearing because agents know you can track who opened it and when. Agents can’t give out codes to their buyers to come back later because the codes expire and send you an alert if used later.
You can use this security as a selling point of working with you.
