Providing automated entry to a property includes an automated entry application receiving registration information from a visitor who desires to use the automated system for visiting properties. The automated entry application allows the visitor to schedule an automated showing of a property at a visitor selected time and date. A central property application enables the visitor to unlock a short-range wireless enabled lock box or the short-range wireless enabled automated door lock at the visitor selected time and date. The short-range wireless enabled device obtains an identifying number of the short-range wireless enabled lock box or the short-range wireless enabled automated door lock. The short-range wireless enabled device sends a wireless signal to the short-range wireless enabled lock box or the short-range wireless enabled automated door lock to unlock the short-range wireless enabled lock box or the short-range wireless enabled automated door lock.
