Lockbox Key
You have two choices for accessing lockboxes:
ActiveKey – this is the option that most of our members use. Separate device that syncs across a cell tower to reactivate it each morning. Cost $350. Monthly cost is included in your MLS subscription. $50 of this is an administration fee, the remaining $300 is a lease fee that will be returned if you turn the key back in prior to the end of our current contract, which runs through 2015. Key must be in working order when turned back in for refund to apply. More information is available here – http://www.supraekey.com/CustomerSupport/Pages/ActiveKEY-Resources.aspx
eKey – this is a new option that most of our newer members are choosing. You purchase a fob from www.supraekey.com that is compatible with your smartphone. The eKey itself is an app on your smartphone. The fob translates the blue tooth signal from your phone into a signal that the iBox can detect. Cost is $50 – $60 for the fob, $50 activation fee, and either $17 or $24/month. More information is available here – http://www.supraekey.com/CustomerSupport/Pages/iBox-Resources.aspx
