‘Sentrilock Blew All the Others Out of the Water’

At 26,000 members and with tens of thousands of listings among them, the Long Island Board of Realtors®, Inc. (LIBOR) is the largest Realtor Board in America. Not surprisingly, LIBOR is no stranger when it comes to understanding the importance of security.

“When we invited lockbox companies to make their presentations to our leadership, Sentrilock blew all the others out of the water in terms of features and the company behind this quality product,” said 2007 LIBOR President Linda Bonarelli. Bonarelli, an industry veteran of more than 20 years, works for RE/MAX North Shore and was a member of the committee responsible for evaluating lockbox solutions and vendors.

LIBOR made the switch to Sentrilock earlier this year.

Bonarelli said she and the other lockbox committee members were very impressed by Sentrilock’s unique features. “Our previous vendor had problems when the batteries in their lockboxes ran out and they couldn’t be accessed,” she explained. “With Sentrilock and its microchip technology, you don’t have to worry about battery problems, or being locked out.”

Moreover, Bonarelli said they were sold when they learned about Sentrilock’s security features, which she cited as a top priority amongst LIBOR’s members.

“We’ve recently had some unlicensed people try to gain access to our clients’ homes. With the Sentrilock system, this simply cannot occur.” Bonarelli was referring to Sentrilock’s Secure ID Technology, which takes advantage of the secure, credit card-sized SentriCard that also serves as the electronic “key” for the Sentrilock lockbox. The SentriCard has an embedded chip that contains the security data for the lockbox system.

After considering all of these features and sizing them up against the competition, Bonarelli said the committee came to a simple, but critical, conclusion: “Sentrilock is an exceptional system.”
