BrokerBay — Pros & Cons

Pros

Native integration with both Supra and SentriLock lockboxes covers the two dominant lockbox ecosystems without third-party bridges
Brokerage analytics dashboard tracks showing volume, feedback rates, and listing performance down to office and team level
Included in core MLS service at participating boards — agents pay nothing out of pocket for base scheduling features
Hierarchical permissioning (franchise → regional → brokerage → office → team → agent) suits complex multi-tier organizations

Cons

Direct brokerage pricing of $8 per active listing per month scales steeply for high-inventory offices not on an MLS-sponsored plan
Platform availability is entirely MLS- or brokerage-dependent — agents in non-partner markets have no self-serve path to adoption
Feedback submissions cannot include photos, leaving a gap when buyers want to document property conditions during showings
Offer management is absent from the showing workflow, requiring agents to context-switch to a separate tool for offers
