Electronic Lock Boxes Coming Soon to Honolulu

We converted to Sentrolock lasdt summer. I am pleased with them and love the electronic tracking. We do have to updae our cars daily but not a huge deal especially if you are not showing property every day. Everyone uses them for the most part although REOs and short sales are sometimes combo boxes.

Randy The electronic Lock boxes are cool. When I have used them they give off a little beep after I enter the 7 digit code and enter. But they are built really tough, and the one day code is neat because you don't have brokers going around memorizing your Lock box codes Regards Tom Braatz

You will really enjoy them. I can not imagine going back to a keybox.

Randy,

We have had supra products monopolize our area...so if you want an ELBX you must pay about $100 for each one...they are much better than combos because you can't break into them as easy and they keep record of all agents that show on my PC. My problem is the Dade board refuses to supply them to their agents which causes a problem when they want to show my listings...I do not use combos much for safety reasons...I do not like that we are charged so much for them but every agent who shows property should have the keypad a few boxes.

We have the supra in my area of Connecticut.  They cost $78.00, plus a quarterly fee to maintain the system.  They need to have a matching keypad, which, is an expense, too.  We are not supposed to share our keypad, though, people do.  They need to be updated every day, it used to be once a month.  Some people like them, some do not use them.  I have about a dozen of the supra's and two dozen of the combination. One of our boards stopped offering the combination lockboxes, they make money selling the electronic boxes.  I like the features you mention about the Sentrolock.  Hope it comes our way:) ps, Hawaii is one of my goals!  Hope to get there, soon!

It's a Good Life!

Supra user here - just got the new ActiveKey. Need to buy the car charger as the battery can drain in less than 2 days especially if you have to use the flashlight feature.

Regardless of the brand, electronic lockboxes have helped me forget the nightmares of driving many miles to pick up keys at offices and being at the mercy of the listing agent's schedule.

A neighboring board just switched to Sentriock & had my first experience using it this weekend.

Seems to work great, no complaints.

We are switching to them next month. Not looking forward to the transition but do like the electronic lock boxes.

Aloha Randy,

At last relief! I've struggled many times with lock boxes and have found most of the current models to be of poor design. The latest model sounds amazing! Thanks for the post.

Peace,
