sentrilock: Boy, my board cut a sweet deal with Sentrilock! - 06/30/17 11:17 AM
Boy the the board cut us a sweet deal with Sentrilock!

NOT!

It seems that it is time for our board to upgrade Sentrilock boxes & I was just notified that I will have to turn in 2 to get 1 of the new ones!  Right now I have 12 so I will only be able to use 6 lockboxes in the future unless of course I want to pay $99 each for the month of August. After that they will be $125.

WOW! I'm knocked over by that savings!

What low-level admin person negotiated this … (2 comments)

sentrilock: So the tenants just show the property themselves? - 08/07/15 02:44 AM
So the tenants just show the property themselves?
Really ..... We've all heard of newest & brightest real estate schemes but I've come across a recent company that takes this to a new level. It's called Rently and basically 'anyone' can RENT a Sentri Lockbox and have tenants, contractors or just about anyone get the code & access a key to the property. Here's an excerpt from their site: "Rently is a premier lockbox rental showing solution. Utilizing Rently’s lockbox rental solution renters can instantly and securely access properties at their convenience. This method, also referred to as Self Service Showing, is becoming the … (28 comments)

sentrilock: Did you know that your Real Estate Agent might not be able to do their job? - 02/21/15 02:30 AM
Did you know that your real estate agent might not be able to do their job?
That's right. One of the most important tools that an agent can use is their lockbox entry card & many agents in our Northwest Suburban area feel the need to 'scrimp' on job related necessities. Effectively they are not being able to get into your home to show it.
Surpised? Don't be. I am going to say that a good quarter of the area's agents cannot show your home readily & easily.
To me this is just ridiculous behavior.
It's like being … (9 comments)

sentrilock: Sentrilock, the Techno Dinosaur - 05/24/12 01:21 AM
Well wha'da ya know .... only 5 months later we get the exciting news! Didn't you know?  I didn't hear it on TMZ either so let me tell you.  NAR now owns Sentrilock 100%.  Didn't know that huh?  I bet you and about 1 million other NAR members were kept in the dark. Why do we have to own anything like a lockbox company?  I'm not sure why we find that ownership, other than control, can be a good idea.  And since there are only 2 options available to real estate agents across the country it's like choosing between the left … (7 comments)

sentrilock: Sentrilock Reader - 03/22/10 07:03 AM
Board office - Zero.Lyn's wallet - $37.21 to the positive.  Yipee!!We turned our entire board and company over to Sentrilock over the last year and I've been a holdout thru the entire process.  The last thing I had to do was get the card and card reader.  When the board said $50 please for the card reader I said no way on that!  Went on Ebay and in a week I had saved myself the $37 mentioned above.  Just a little investigative work on my part saved me some mooolah!Now you can get yourself another one for home, office or other location … (6 comments)
