GSMLS Supra Keybox Exchange
As you may have heard, GSMLS is upgrading its Supra keybox system. As part of the upgrade we will be converting our current GSMLS keyboxes to the new Supra iBoxes with Bluetooth LE functionality. During this upgrade GSMLS offices will have the opportunity to exchange, without cost, their current GSMLS keyboxes for the new Supra iBoxes with Bluetooth LE functionality on a one-to-one basis.
The Exchange will run from October 12th to October 20th at several different locations. During the Exchange, please be aware that keyboxes may temporarily be removed from properties. If you are relying on a keybox being available to show a property, call ahead and verify that it will be available when you want to show the property.
Each office has been assigned both a location and a time to exchange its keyboxes. The scheduled time and location for your office is available by logging into the GSMLS system and navigating to OFFICE/AGENT MGMT -> Keybox Exchange -> My Appointment. All of an office’s keyboxes must be exchanged at the same time so you will need to coordinate having keyboxes removed from properties and, after completing the Exchange, putting the new keyboxes you receive back onto the properties. Offices should expect to spend 1 hour to complete the exchange process. Multiple trips to exchange keyboxes are not allowed.
Only the Office Manager can participate in the Exchange so agents must coordinate getting keyboxes to their manager so the keyboxes can be exchanged for new keyboxes. If an Office Manager wants to designate another individual to return the office’s keyboxes the Office Manager should complete the GSMLS Keybox Authorization Form. The completed form must be presented at the Exchange by the designated individual.
Please be aware, you may only exchange keyboxes during the Exchange at your assigned location. If you try to exchange your keyboxes at a different location, you will be turned away and required to complete the exchange after October 20th at GSMLS' office in Parsippany at a cost of $25/keybox.
Offices that do not complete the Exchange at their scheduled location will be required to exchange their keyboxes at the GSMLS office in Parsippany by scheduling an appointment and paying $25 per keybox being exchanged.
NO KEYBOXES WILL BE EXCHANGED AFTER NOVEMBER 11th. After that date any listing in the GSMLS system that indicates a GSMLS keybox has been placed on a property requires the use of the new Supra iBox with Bluetooth LE functionality (the Supra iBox BT LE keybox). A fine will be imposed for a violation of this policy.
Office Managers must complete the exchange of their office/branch office's entire inventory of keyboxes at one time at their scheduled location, date and time. If the Office Manager is unable to attend the Exchange, they will need to complete the GSMLS KEYBOX AUTHORIZATION FORM authorizing another GSMLS member to exchange their office's keyboxes. The alternate member will still need to exchange the office's entire inventory of keyboxes at the office's scheduled location, date and time.
The following keyboxes are not eligible to be exchanged and will be rejected at the Exchange:
