Sentrilock Lockbox and Key Services - SentriLock boxes are an essential tool for REALTORS®. At FCAR, we understand this and carry the current standard in lockboxes (and the corresponding batteries). Our knowledgeable staff can help you purchase a new box or troubleshoot a problem and make changes if you switch offices. Please note that all SentriLock products now function via BlueTooth through the SentriKey app. SentriCards have been discontinued.

Legislative Advocacy and RPAC - FCAR advocates for our members on real estate-related legislation at all levels of government.
