Member Services : KeyBox System : eKey v. Tempo Wireless

eKey v. Tempo Wireless


Members using the electronic keybox system have the ability to upgrade to the eKey which offers much greater functionality. One the most significant benefits is access to the MLS data. However, as Tempo Wireless will also provide access to the MLS data for free, here are the differences between the two products.

eKey Professional

       

Tempo Wireless

increased functionality but limited MLS data

fewer features but real time access to all MLS data

  • Access to the selected MLS data via syncing through your computer
  • MLS data is static (updated once/day)
  • more features (includes mapping)
  • Does not work on any Blackberry device
  • Cost: $24.66/month + tax

For more info on the eKey, click here.

  • Access to all MLS data from anywhere
  • MLS data is live (updated in real time)
  • Device must have a wireless data plan (i.e. access to the Internet)
  • Less features (does not include mapping)
  • FREE (but you must have a data package on your cellular plan which is going to cost you ?? per month)

Both options above require using a compatible device. Click here to view Compatibility Device List.

You can have both the eKey and Tempo Wireless products on the same device. That way, you could have access to all of the features of the eKey but with real time access to the MLS data.

Please be aware that there is also another eKey option that does not have any Tempo functionality called eKey Basic that will cost $14.12 a month. It is also important to note that neither eKey option will work with a Blackberry.
