MLS"Change is Coming" - MLS Newsletter
Watch your email for the upcoming "Change is Coming" Coming Soon! IDX Approved for Agent WebsitesAgent members of RANW MLS will soon have the option to include IDX on their agent websites (with their broker/manager's approval). New agreements should be available by the end of November -- MLS Participants will be notified. Photos - MLS Rules 4.3As the weather and the season changes, members are encouraged to update their listing photos. Be sure to abide by the MLS Rules & Regulations for listing photos and virtual tours (Section 4.3 of the MLS Rules & Regulations). Reporting Selling Information CorrectlyDuring RANW MLS's regular monitoring of sold information, our staff may come across listings where the List Price and Selling Price are significantly different. If the reason for the difference is not noted in the Selling Information or Remarks, MLS staff will contact the listing office to inquire about this price difference. MLS often finds that an extra lot was sold or not sold, or there were concessions that were not noted, or the Selling Price may have been entered in error. MLS StatsDon't forget - "MLS Stats" are available to MLS members - the program allows members to quickly and easily pull statistical reports from the MLS data. Under the Misc menu, or by using the MLS Stats button on the right side of the My InnoVia screen, members will log in to the stats program with their InnoVia login and password, and then choose from a variety of reporting options. Check the 2015 year end for the entire MLS or specific municipalities. Stats Talk

Keep Checking Lockbox Batteries and Work TogetherYour lockboxes may be nearing the end of their life cycle. To get us through until the new boxes are in place, we offer the following recommendations: Checking Box % With eKEY only: **Important Note - SupraWEB Reports may not be accurate if agents with Display Keys are not using a cradle to update. The key has to be put on the cradle in order for the data in the key to transmit to Supra. This is a critical time for Agents to be cradling their keys if they have not been doing so, as this will ensure that Brokers can run accurate SupraWeb reports for tracking lockboxes. Many Companies have cradles at the office ~ please encourage use! To Replace a low battery % lockbox: Thank you for your patience and support, and for working together until a new system is in place this coming summer!
