There is marketing and there is marketing. I was showing condos the other day and it seems that there is a new location for Realtor lockboxes for one of the condo buildings. They are in the narrow dark dirty alley right on the wall right next to the dumpsters. 
The prospective buyer gets to smell the garbage and gets a good feel for the worst aspects of living in the area.
I found a lockbox at the top of a rusty flight of stairs in a pile of pigeon poo. I’ll bet the seller has no idea.
First impressions are so important and so is safety for the lockboxes and for the people who are using them.
