Welcome Matt! Our electronic Sentrilock costs the same as the combos – I use both. The Sentrilock is possibly the worst lockbox made. the batteries run out, the keybox sticks and it’s bulky.

Combos are becoming the norm even when they cost the same. I’m not sure why, but you make an excellent point about security, although we do use a showing service for all our listings.

On the other hand, I have heard of homes accessed even with an electronic lockbox.

Welcome to AG, Matt.

Very few Realtors are using the Supra box anymore and we were one of their first clients. When IDX came in and boards around us didn’t use electronic lockboxes, it died a slow death.

Supra is “suppose” to be coming up with a solution but as time has gone on, more agents are turning in the lockboxes.

I showed 10 houses a couple of weeks ago. Only one required my E-Key.
