Lockboxes are completely optional but highly recommended for any MLS listing. Any MLS listing in the MLS, no matter what company listed it, will see fewer showings without a lockbox. Agents are reluctant to show homes without lockbox access because they know that no lockbox makes it much more difficult to persuade the buyer to buy the home.
The key lockbox enables the environment most likely to result in an offer: the buyer and their agent walking through the property undistracted and unhurried. The buyers don't feel like they are imposing upon the sellers time. They can freely talk about what they like and dislike with their spouse/friend and agent. The agent can respond to that feedback without fear of offending the seller or starting an argument. The buyer is comfortable, doesn't feel like someone is waiting to get their house back, and can freely imagine living in the home. They haven't been distracted by meeting a stranger, wondering if they should make small talk with the seller, or been bowled over with a sales pitch from a stranger (the seller). The agent can focus on selling the home.
Agents will not be able to "walk in" whenever they want; you still individually approve each showing. If you prefer that agents be able to show the home without contacting you there are often options that allow this to occur. You determine the lockbox combination.
Important Note: Combination lockboxes not available in all areas.
