"If an agent comes from another area—often people from Orange County love to sell in San Diego—I can give them access, and that gets me more buyers and more offers on seller’s homes. With other lockbox companies, there’s no competition. SentriLock makes sure that I can always be available to open homes on the market to potential buyers."— Karen Van Ness, REALTOR® & Board Director, San Diego Association of REALTORS®
The Customer
The San Diego Association of REALTORS® (SDAR) supports thousands of real estate professionals across Southern California through business development tools, training, client management solutions, lead generation, and advocacy.
The Problem
Karen Van Ness is an active REALTOR® and serves on the Board of Directors for SDAR. In a highly connected region like Southern California, she frequently works with agents traveling down from Orange County. She needed a secure, reliable way to grant temporary property access to out-of-area agents so potential buyers wouldn't miss out on seeing her listings.
The Solution
The ability to grant secure temporary access to contractors and out-of-area agents—while maintaining a complete, real-time audit log of who enters and exits the property—has been a gamechanger for Van Ness and her clients.
SentriLock’s secure access tools give listing agents the flexibility to collaborate with out-of-area agents effortlessly without sacrificing property security or oversight. By making property access seamless for visiting buyers, agents can maximize listing exposure and generate more competitive offers for sellers.
