November 11, 2009 10:59 AM EST

Introducing the First Truly Wireless Lockbox That Provides a Future Friendly Platform for Agents to Vastly Improve and Differentiate Service to Home Sellers Nationwide

CINCINNATI--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- SentriLock (http://www.sentrilock.com), the fastest-growing and number-one rated provider of electronic lockbox systems for the residential real estate industry, today announced it will debut REALTOR(R) Lockbox NXT Wireless, the industry's first truly wireless lockbox, at this week's annual NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS(R) Conference & Expo. The Expo takes place in San Diego Nov. 13 to 16.

Incorporating state of the art, ultra-low power digital radio technology, REALTOR(R) Lockbox NXT Wireless raises the standard as the most technologically advanced, yet easy-to-use lockbox solution available. Coupled with the SentriLink(TM) Wireless Transponder companion product, a suite of extremely useful new features are now available for real estate professionals to differentiate their services to their clients.

"Since we are majority owned by NAR, we know first hand how hard real estate professionals must work today to get the job done for their home sellers. So, SentriLock is bringing them the most future friendly lockbox to the market. We are excited to demonstrate REALTOR(R) Lockbox NXT Wireless in San Diego this week to real estate and association professionals," said Scott Fisher, SentriLock CEO and Co-founder.

Fisher added, "Most Associations view an investment in lockboxes as a 10 year product commitment, so we have innovated a lockbox that can securely 'talk' to other devices to facilitate such things as enabling real-time communications with agents, report intrusion in vacant properties and even turn the lights on in a house to make showings safer and more convenient."

Fisher points out that REALTOR(R) Lockbox NXT Wireless provides real estate professionals with a number of industry-leading features and benefits as a result of its patent-pending wireless technology. Some of these include:

    --  Real-Time Notifications - With the wireless lockbox and SentriLink(TM)
        Wireless Transponder, real estate professionals are able to provide
        sellers with greater peace of mind. That's because every person who
        accesses a property is reported in real time to the SentriLock system
        and notifications are sent to the listing agent and optionally their
        client.
    --  Security -- The SentriLink(TM) Wireless Transponder includes a motion
        sensor that can provide added alarm notification indicating unauthorized
        access to the home.
    --  Enhanced Safety - The SentriLink(TM) Wireless Transponder communicates
        with the X10 home automation interface. This allows listing agents to
        use the lockbox to do such things as turn the lights on when a showing
        begins and off when the showing is completed.
    --  Remote Reprogramming - NXT Wireless Lockbox settings can be changed
        remotely through the SentriLink(TM) without visiting the property.
    --  Coexistence and Compatibility - As always, SentriLock's enhanced lockbox
        is backward compatible with all previous generations.

Earlier this month, the company announced that it had received four distinguished certifications on its lockbox products from Underwriter's Laboratories and other globally respected independent testing laboratories, making it far and away, the most-tested and accredited lockbox available to real estate brokers and agents.

SentriLock will demonstrate REALTOR(R) Lockbox NXT Wireless and SentriLink(TM) Base Station at booth 2035 at the REALTORS(R) Conference & Expo in San Diego.
