ARE YOU FOLLOWING THE LOCKBOX RULES & REGULATIONS?
Any EABOR member that has old lockboxes outstanding that they didn't get turned in during the conversion period, needs to get those in before 05/31/16 to avoid being charged for the lockboxes...no exceptions!
Thank you,
EABOR
--------------------------------------------------------------------
This is just a friendly reminder that the new lockbox rules and regulations state the following:
  
"Failure to remove AND RETURN a lockbox to EABOR within 48 hours (excluding weekends and holidays) on a listing that has expired, is withdrawn, or closed, is a violation that may result in a fine or penalty."
  
Example:  MLS# D0000000, 123 Main Street, was expired/withdrawn/closed on May 13th, 2016.  Lockbox #30300000 should have been returned no later than May 17th, 2016 to avoid a penalty or fine.
  
You are NO longer able to keep an extra lockbox on hand - ALL boxes must be returned based upon the above policy.
  
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Lockbox transfer form for your use. (click here)
1. Lockboxes CANNOT be transferred between agents, but can be transferred from one listing to another listing that belongs to you. 
2. If you transfer brokerage firms, your boxes MUST BE REMOVED and RETURNED to EABOR, otherwise showing information will continue to be sent to the agent the lockbox was originally assigned to.
