SentriLock Lockbox and App Update
It's time to renew your SentriLock service. Your annual fee is $106.65 (billing period is May 2020 through May 2021). If you do not renew by September 1, 2020, your account will be suspended. Please be sure to check your email inbox for more information and if you have any questions you can contact our membership department at help@dmarealtors.com or call 303-756-0553.
As a reminder, if you currently own an NXT lockbox, you can upgrade to a Bluetooth model and get 15% off. This is a one-to-one exchange, so you can swap out as many NXT lockboxes as you own and get 15% off each new Bluetooth model.
