MLSNew Paragon MLS System Coming Soon!For the latest Paragon system information, please click here. MLS Area Field Will Be Removed Today ~ Don't Lose Your Prospects!MLS has been reminding members to update their Saved Search criteria (including Prospects and Hotsheets) to use a different geographic locator field such as County, Municipality, School District, zip code, and/or mapping. If these saved searches have not been updated, the MLS Area removal will leave those searches with no geographic criteria at all. Please see the helpful information below, as previously shared via the RANW Newsletter and InnoVia's Board News: MLS Areas Are Going Away - How to Search Without ThemThe MLS Area field will disappear from the MLS mid-2016. This field will no longer appear on data sheets or listing maintenance, and will no longer be searchable. In preparation for this change, MLS recommends that members begin using other geographic search fields such as County, Municipality, Municipal Sub-Area, School District, Zip Code and/or a Map-Based Search for all saved searches including Prospects and Hotsheets. Members can also set up saved searches with common parameters, such as selected municipalities or mapped areas. Having this information saved in the system will make it very easy to retrieve and build on, rather than having to enter the geographic area from scratch every time. ~ For general Search Criteria help, including how to use pick lists (County, Municipality, School District, Municipal Sub-Area), see our How To Search document. Late Listing Waiver Form UsageMLS Rules state that listings must be submitted to MLS with the signed contract within 5 business days of the listing date on the contract (10 days for Commercial Industrial listings). If the completed listing will not be submitted to MLS within that time frame, members may use a Late Listing form to notify MLS of the late listing, and the reasons why the listing will be late, and possibly avoid late listing fees. The Village of Fox Crossing and the Town of Menasha Have Been Reunified!On Thursday, September 22, 2016, the Village of Fox Crossing Board of Trustees unanimously approved an ordinance adjusting the municipal boundary line between the Village of Fox Crossing and the Town of Menasha, attaching most of the Town of Menasha to the Village. The boundary change came as a result of the Intergovernmental Cooperation Agreement approved by both the Village of Fox Crossing and the Town of Menasha in August. A small Town of Menasha remnant consisting of three parcels will be annexed into the City of Menasha or the Village of Fox Crossing at a later date.
