What are Lockboxes and eKeys?

In the real estate business, lockboxes (also known as key boxes) are devices used to securely access properties. These boxes are opened using electronic keys, or eKEYs, only available to members — of the Birmingham Association of REALTORS® and its subsidiary Greater Alabama MLS — who accept the rules and guidelines and meet specific eligibility and insurance requirements. The keys come in the form of electronic devices or smartphone eKEY apps.

These devices comprise the Birmingham Association of REALTORS® Electronic Lockbox System powered by Supra United Technologies. Leasing and set-up fees apply for these devices. To find out if you’re eligible to lease a lockbox or eKEY (including Affiliate Members who are appraisers, pest control operators/inspectors, home inspectors, and real estate photographers under special conditions), contact our MLS Department.

Please click HERE to login to your member portal. To obtain an E-Key, simply navigate to the “Subscriptions” tab, proceed to “Subscription Actions,” and select the option to add your E-Key subscription. Once complete, MLS Staff will process your application. Please allow two (2) business days for processing as forms are processed in the order that they are received. The cost is a one-time $50 activation fee with Supra. After that, a $15.16 charge will be debited from your account on the 28th of every month. 

After-hours support is available. Visit the Supra website for hours and other details.
