PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla., Sept. 16, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Carrier Global Corporation (NYSE:CARR) the leading global provider of healthy, safe, sustainable and intelligent building and cold chain solutions, has signed an agreement to acquire BrokerBay Inc., a pioneer in the development of an advanced, streamlined and user-friendly real estate management cloud ecosystem. The software's ability to reduce a brokerage's administrative workload, streamline the real estate scheduling and showing experience, as well as standardize electronic lockbox access, will strengthen Carrier's leading access solutions offering within its Fire & Security business.

"The acquisition of BrokerBay delivers on Carrier's long-standing commitment to growth and innovation," said Jurgen Timperman, President, Carrier Fire & Security.

Supra is a market leader in supporting real estate showings and enabled 45 million property showings in 2020.

Following closing, which is expected in October, BrokerBay and Supra will provide a one-stop shop for realtors that combines scheduling and mobile lockbox access in an intuitive, user-friendly showing experience to empower agents, reduce workload and provide actionable analytics.

"With increasingly high volumes in real estate showings, there is a need for agents to act with speed and efficiency," said Jeffrey Stanek, Managing Director, Global Access Solutions, Carrier Fire & Security. "This acquisition will further ensure they have the best solutions available to succeed."
