Company Spotlight: New Mobile Application ‘Gets an A’

By Stephanie Andre Print Article

RISMEDIA, November 4, 2009—Time is a precious commodity for Claudio Varo, an extremely busy real estate professional whose markets include Northern Chicagoland and the suburbs. He tries not to squander even a moment of his fast-paced days. That’s why he was so pleased when SentriLock, a fast-growing provider of electronic lockbox systems for the real estate industry, recently introduced https://m.sentrilock.com. The time-saving (and free) mobile application enables brokers and agents like Varo to manage their lockbox activities using just about any smartphone. 

According to Varo, one of his favorite functions is the mobile application’s ability to generate a one-day access code—without needing to be at his computer. With the new application, he can generate secure, one-day access codes from his mobile phone, which he can then provide to another agent or contractor. “Having the ability to generate a one-day access code in just seconds using my mobile phone, and then immediately provide it to an out-of-area agent or contractor is a huge time-saver,” Varo says. “This application saves me time and money: I don’t have to needlessly burn time driving to a listing to let someone inside the home, yet I know exactly when someone entered and left the home,” he explains. 

“SentriLock’s new mobile application definitely gets an ‘A’ from me.” And Varo isn’t alone in his use of and enthusiasm for the new mobile application. Since the application was launched, “hundreds of SentriLock REALTOR® Lockbox customers signed up for the service, which to us indicated a real desire among agents and brokers for smart, easy-to-use, time-saving technologies that make their demanding jobs a little easier,” says SentriLock CEO Scott Fisher. “The mobile application makes it incredibly easy for our customers to manage a variety of things, including updating their SentriCard®, getting a one-day code or viewing who has accessed a lockbox and more,” adds Fisher. 

Varo, for one, doesn’t need any more convincing. “Now I can be at a listing appointment or be managing other business, yet still have the ability to let agents into my properties,” he explains. “This feature has truly made my life as a real estate broker a lot easier.”
