Abstract: A method of documenting services performed for a secured property including: receiving a first actuation request from a service person via a service person computing device, the first actuation request being directed to an access control of the secured property; detecting a first actuation of the access control in response to the first actuation request; receiving service details, the service details describing a service being performed at the secured property associated with the first actuation request; saving the service details in a public ledger; receiving a second actuation request from a potential buyer via a potential buyer computing device, the second actuation request being directed to the access control; detecting a second actuation of the access control in response to the second actuation request; and granting authorization to the potential buyer to view the public ledger via the potential buyer computing device in response to the second actuation.

Abstract: A method for setting or adjusting a sale price for a subject real estate listing including receiving data regarding a subject real estate listing from a handheld device operating a predictive showing change application. The data regarding the subject real estate listing is compared with a multiple of comparable real estate listings and an output that compares a number of showings for a suggested price of the subject real estate listing compared to a number of showings based on the multiple of comparable real estate listings is determined.

Abstract: A mobile credential management system includes a processing system and a memory system with computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the processing system, cause the processing system to perform a plurality of operations. The operations include issuing a credential to a mobile device operable to trigger opening of a releasable latch of a vehicle key box responsive to receiving the credential within an assigned window of time. The operations also include monitoring for a releasable latch opened indicator from the vehicle key box indicative of the vehicle key box acknowledging the credential and providing access to a vehicle key corresponding to a vehicle assigned to the vehicle key box. The operations further include sending a notification to a user system responsive to receiving the releasable latch opened indicator, the notification identifying the vehicle and information about a user of the mobile device.

Abstract: A lockbox includes a housing, a key storage area and a lockbox circuit. The key storage area is shaped to receive a stored key and is attached to or positioned within the housing. The key storage area is secured with a lock mechanism to prevent unauthorized access to the stored key. The lockbox circuit comprises a transceiver operable by a magnetically induced current generated by a closely positioned radio access device that can send and receive signals. The circuit is configured to unlock the key storage area upon determining that an access request is authorized to providing access to the stored key. Methods of operation are also disclosed.

Abstract: Systems and methods for providing one-time access to electronic locking devices for non-keyholders. The one-time access rights are delivered from a server to the electronic locking device in real-time, or in near-real time, over short and long-range wireless communication links in a manner that is secure and traceable. A handheld device is coupled with the electronic locking device via the short-range communication link, and is coupled with the server via a long-range wireless communication link.

Abstract: A real estate security system is described wherein access to a lockbox, that houses a key, causes automatic notification to an owner/occupant associated with the property. Such a communication can be used to alert the owner/occupant that a real estate showing is started or completed, that a friend or family member arrived home safely, that a property management accessed the house, or that emergency personnel accessed the house. The lockbox can include additional features that cause notification to the owner, such as automated sensing of tampering with the lockbox, or depressing a button on the lockbox to generate a signal to the owner/occupant of the property.
