NSBAR TAKES HOMEOWNERS SECURITY SERIOUS

NORTHBROOK, IL (December 19, 2008)       — North Shore- Barrington Association of REALTORS® (NSBAR) has made the switch to the number one lockbox in the industry, SentriLock (www.sentrilock.com), a leading provider of electronic lockbox solutions for the real estate industry (Business Wire 2008).  The switch was made to make sure that the members of NSBAR were able to offer their clients the best security device on the market. 
SentriLock’s Lockbox is built using "smart" technology, built into the box that is combined with smart-card technology. Using the smart-card technology, real estate professionals open the lockbox using their personal SentriCard([R]), a hotel-card-sized electronic access key. As a result of this unique use of smart technology, all lockbox settings and showing information are Web-based and can quickly and easily be managed by agents to ensure that every showing is tracked and recorded. 
“Our members are showing properties in the million dollar range, we would be crazy to not offer the best lockbox on the market.  Our members are true real estate professionals and we want to make sure that we are armed with the best,” stated President and CEO of NSBAR, Terry Penza.
NSBAR made the switch to SentriLock in August of 2008.  They joined a network of over 150,000 agents in other 150 associations of REALTORS in the US (http://www.sentrilock.com/). 
“Homeowners should always question the security of their home, rather the home is vacant or not.  With SentriLock, all questions about security are answered,” explained Penza.
