The Prince George's County Association of REALTORS^® will begin its conversion from SUPRA to SentriLock on November 10^th. The following associations have ALREADY converted to the new SentriLock lockbox system:

Anne Arundel County	Harford County
Carroll County	Howard County
Frederick County	Southern Maryland
Greater Baltimore

If you are showing property in any of these areas, you have two options for opening a SentriLock box that may be on the listing:

1. Call the listing agent to get a one-day showing code.
   The code is specific to the box, so if you are showing multiple properties, you will need a separate code for each box.



2. Get a SentriLock access card from PGCAR.
   REALTORS^® in good standing (i.e. have paid their 2008 dues) can get a SentriLock access card from PGCAR on any weekday between 9:30 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. The cost is $155 which covers the fee from now until November 2009. PGCAR cannot issue boxes at this time, so for now, SentriLock boxes will have to be acquired from the Association in the area where you have a listing.

During the month of October 2008, all PGCAR members should have received several email messages from SENTRILOCK. At least one email message will contain a link that you can use to register for the conversion/exchange and instructions for paying your first year's lockbox service fee online. YOU MUST PRE-REGISTER FOR A SPECIFIC EXCHANGE/ TRAINING SESSION AND PRE-PAY YOUR LOCKBOX SERVICE FEE. IF YOU ALREADY HAVE A PGCAR SENTRILOCK CARD, YOU WILL NOT HAVE TO PAY BUT YOU STILL HAVE TO REGISTER. Walk-ins and payments will not be accepted on the day of the conversion.

By registering and pre-paying, you will receive the following benefits:

• Move quickly through the check-in, equipment exchange, training and pick up of your new lockboxes.
• Choose the exchange/training time that works best for you. When you register, you select the date and time that works best for you. Times are filled on a first come, first served basis. Register and pay early to get the best selection of times.
• Equipment Availability - When you register and prepay you are ensuring that we have your new SentriCard and lockboxes prepared and available for you.
• Equipment Exchanged - You will receive a new SentriCard to access the new lockboxes; a home card reader for updating the SentriCard; and one new REALTOR^® lockbox for each Supra AEII or iBox that is registered to you and is turned in at the exchange. If you have Supra Lockboxes that are not assigned to you, please contact Shirley Clayton at the Association office at 301-306-7900. Only those obtaining a SentriCard from PGCAR, should attend the conversion.

IF YOU DO NOT ATTEND THE CONVERSION THE WEEK OF NOVEMBER 10TH, you will only receive 1 REALTOR^® Lockbox for every 2 Supra lockboxes plus there will be a $100 penalty charged. Any Supra Lockboxes not exchanged by December 15^th, will not be exchanged. IT IS OF UTMOST IMPORTANCE THAT YOU REGISTER FOR AND ATTEND THE CONVERSION.

If You are Not Getting a PGCAR SentriCard, Your Lockboxes will be exchanged at the Association Office BY APPOINTMENT AFTER THE CONVERSION IS COMPLETED.

You may also turn in any Multaac Boxes you have for a Sentrilock Box at a reduced price of $75 between November 17^th and December 15^th.
