Russell, if I am reading your post right, I don’t see this happening. As you know, lockboxes record the combination of every agent using them, even time and date they entered and left the property. The agents have already been vetted in that they have been fingerprinted and had a background check run on them at the time of licensing. The DRE routinely rechecks certain aspects of all licensees’ backgrounds and is notified if a licensee has a County or State lien against them (i.e. child support, etc.) Just because a buyer has gone thru a “loan prequalification” process doesn’t mean they wouldn’t put something that they saw and liked in their pocket during an unsupervised “showing” of an occupied property. I don’t see Sandicor or any of the Boards issuing lockbox keys to unlicensed buyers. Ain’t gonna happen.
