The following notice was posted in the local NWMLS. Sellers in the Tacoma/University Place area will want to be on alert. We get notices every now and then about this kind of negative activity at properties. You’ll note that keyboxes in some of these cases are missing – chances are the agent didn’t secure them to the property as they are supposed to. If you are listing your home be sure the keybox is secured properly to the home such as on a metal post, via a strong bike lock, on a door where the lockbox can’t be slid off, etc.
