Lock Box/Key Repositories, Section 3: Centralized Key Repositories (Policy Statement 7.46)

A centralized key repository is defined as a system operated by an association multiple listing service which enables an MLS participant to place keys to listed properties in a central location to be made available to other participants and their affiliated licensees to facilitate the showing of listed properties. Under certain circumstances and subject to strict operational rules and regulations, an association multiple listing service may choose to operate a centralized key repository in lieu of a lock box system and still be eligible for coverage under the errors and omissions insurance program of the NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS®.
