Supra Key programThe Real Estate industry is totally dependent on using lock boxes as a means to show homes while owners are away or working. Most agents show homes while the owner is not present allowing their clients full access to browse their potential new home in a comfortable setting without undergoing the sometimes unwanted scrutiny of the sellers. This is an industry standard supported by the Association.The Association seeks security for our industry clients and has realized the importance of key controlled systems such as key lock boxes. These boxes provide the public with maximum security coverage. The real estate industrys adoption of electronic boxes is another example of technology meeting a public need. Easy and protected access to listings, reduced liability, and the need for improved homeowner security and privacy are among other reasons for the Association to support this modern-day technology.The need:1. To reduce industry and Broker/Agent liability and increase Broker/Agent value to their clients. This a a general public benefit as opposed to a particular service to members.2. To ensure consumer confidence, comfort, security and acceptance.Again, this a a general public benefit as opposed to a particular service to members.3. To provide immediate, accurate reportage as to exactly (a)WHO exactly entered the property, (b) WHEN exactly they entered the property, (c) WHEN exactly they departed the property. 4. To prohibit anyone not in good standing with the Association from gaining access to properties5. Security risks of un monitored and undocumented access are eliminated.6. History shows high acceptance of electronic boxes and increased confidence in their Broker/Agent.Again, this a a general public benefit as opposed to a particular service to members.The Association understands that one's home is likely their most valuable asset. The Supra key program has been put in place and supported by the Association with this public interest in mind.
Local Industry Meetings -- To integrate local numbers and further communications between them. Creation of a cooperative attitude among local real estate professionals. Involve our membership in the design and maintenance of industry standards that serve the public.
