SentriLock Electronic Lockboxes – New Lockbox For Keys

/in /by

SentriLock is a local Cincinnati-based company that has designed a technologically innovative electronic lockbox for real estate agents and real estate companies. As a real estate agent, I was ecstatic when I discovered that there was an affordable, secure, electronic lockbox on the market. And I was even more excited to find out that their home office was located right down the road in Cincinnati, Ohio and 100% owned by The National Association of Realtors. With all the possibilities running through my head, I couldn’t wait to get my hands on one. Unfortunately, I soon realized that the Dayton Area Board of Realtors (my local board) is not yet a member of SentriLock, so I would not be able to use the “Realtor Lockbox NXT,” a 21st century real estate tool.

Why We Are Not Fans Of Traditional Combination Lockboxes

As someone that uses a combination lockbox on a daily basis, I can tell you that there are more than a few drawbacks to using the old outdated push-button portable lockboxes or the 12 letter alpha combination lockboxes. How many times have you had a client and his/her kids standing behind you as you fumble to get the code right? What about showing a house around 6:00 P.M. in the Midwest — during the winter months — when it gets dark outside around 5:30 and you can’t see the worn numbers to save your life? Even worse, what about the real estate agent that has been in business for 20 years and everyone and their brother knows that realtor’s lockbox combination?

The Ease & Security Of An Electronic Lockbox

With SentriLock’s “Realtor Lockbox,” “Realtor Lockbox NXT,” or the “Realtor Lockbox NXT-M” (the wall-mountable lockbox for condos and commercial properties), you’ll never have to worry about the scenarios mentioned above. Just think about how much easier it would be to essentially have one key (in the form of a credit-card-sized smart card, the “SentriCard“) that would open all lockboxes. Here are a few other features the SentriLock electronic Lockbox offers:

  • An integrated and illuminated keypad
  • Customer support (7 days a week)
  • An extra-large front opening key compartment
  • User replaceable battery; up to six years life
  • Homeowner “Do Not Disturb” option
  • Dynamic “call before showing” system codes
  • One day codes available for non-system users
  • Audit trail of key access (agent, date, time)
  • USB interface card reader
  • And much much more……
