Important: Transition to BrokerBay/Supra One by September 30
LSTAR Members must complete the transition to the BrokerBay/Supra One platform ahead of the September 30 deadline to avoid disruptions in business.
Key updates include:
- Stop using the Supra eKey app – only the BrokerBay/Supra One app will work moving forward.
- Confirmed showing appointments are required to open a Supra Lockbox.
- Every Supra lockbox must be assigned to a listing in order for the showing appointment function to work properly. If the lockbox is not assigned, it cannot be opened by the showing REALTOR®.
- Update your Access Type settings to ensure proper access.
Read the full update and step-by-step instructions on the Member Hub.
