KeyBox Tip
real estate community.
Using CBS Codes
Feature of the Month
May
Sprinkler Key Hiders
$5.50 each
Every KeyBox contains a Call Before Showing (CBS) code that your Association/Board/MLS
can activate.
The CBS code allows the listing agent to control KeyBox access by requiring the showing
agent to call for authorization before opening the KeyBox.
If the CBS code is active in a KeyBox then every showing agent must enter the CBS code
into their key before accessing the KeyBox.
If the CBS code is active in a KeyBox, it will show as CBS on KIM Web, under the ‘View
Existing KeyBoxes’ screen for that KeyBox.
All Sustaining keyholders ALWAYS need a CBS code to access the KeyBox, even if CBS
is set to off.
