eKEY for Blackberry is Finally Here

We FINALLY have the eKEY software and fobs for BlackBerry devices here at the association office. If you are interested please call Josh, Jay, Judith, or Loretta and setup and appointment to have your BlackBerry device setup.

Real Estate - eKEY for BlackBerry

Supra eKEY software is now available for the BlackBerry Pearl, BlackBerry Curve, BlackBerry Pearl Flip, BlackBerry Storm, BlackBerry Bold and BlackBerry 8800 series smartphones. BlackBerry users can now join the thousands of real estate professionals already enjoying the timesaving benefits of eKEY service on their Palm and Windows smartphones.

Part of the eKEY for BlackBerry solution is the eKEY Fob. The fob is used to convert the Bluetooth in the BlackBerry to Infrared so the BlackBerry can communicate with the lock box.

There are two levels of eKEY Service to chose from with BlackBerry. Both levels receive real-time showing notifications and both can be deactivated or reactivated instantly.

eKEY Basic

eKEY Basic Service allows you to use your BlackBerry to retrieve listing keys from your iBoxes. No more extra lockbox key to carry. eKEY Basic features include:
Retrieve listing keys from iBoxes

Program iBox access hours, even custom hours, when you take the listing

Beam specific showing notes, listing highlights and your business card into your iBoxes

Change your own shackle codes

Track your KeyBox inventory by number, shackle code and address

eKEY Professional

eKEY Professional Service (available Q1, 2009) adds the ability to search your MLS from your BlackBerry, using the eDATA Mobile program. You’ll have answers to your clients’ questions in an instant.

Configure a market area from your device. Always have the MLS data you need.
Search listings by MLS listing ID number, street address, or buyer profile

View listings on your MLS Hotsheet

Google maps connected directly to listings

Find the latest contact information for other agents, even if they’ve changed companies
Receive real-time showing notifications

View showing details right on your BlackBerry. See who is showing your listings while they’re at the property!

For the BlackBerry eKEY to open iBoxes, you will need a small Bluetooth to Infrared converter. The converter looks like the key fob you use to lock and unlock your car remotely.

After entering your PIN in your BlackBerry, you can put your BlackBerry away and then use the fob to open the iBox.
When you point the fob at an iBox, it converts your BlackBerry’s Bluetooth signal to Infrared, which is needed to communicate with the iBox.
The converter is very easy to set up, much like a Bluetooth headset.
It features inexpensive, user-replaceable batteries.
