The Northwest Arkansas Board of REALTORS® is seeking committee volunteers !

Changes are coming to our lockbox and keycard system! In June we will host a lockbox exchange at the NABOR Event Center. All iBox BT (Bluetooth) and iBox BTLE's (Bluetooth Low Energy) will be exchanged for all new inventory and all boxes issued will be BTLE. Click here to see how this will virtually eliminate the need for FOB's. We will no longer provide or support the older (non-Bluetooth) iBoxes. iBox inventory will not be exchanged.

We will also begin phasing out ActiveKeys in the next few weeks. The ActiveKey is being replaced and updated with the XpressKEY pictured here.

Side note: We have recently experienced several issues with lockboxes purchased online from private sellers. We are happy to add these boxes to inventory when we can, but if the box has not been properly deprogrammed or if it is from outside our market area we are unable to add it to inventory. Boxes that cannot be added to inventory will not function with our system.
