Wisconsin's Direct Giver ProgramWe are in the final stretch of RANW's Direct Giver Fundraising period, and we have only reached 50% of our goal. Soon we will be sending out the Association dues bills and then Direct Giver contributions "fall off the radar". Given the enormous issues the real estate industry is facing, we need your support now more than ever, so please send in your Direct Giver checks today. The WRA Direct Giver Program provides an alternative to an RPAC contribution for members who: MLSMLS Training Class ScheduleYou can access the MLS Training Schedule by clicking here.

MLS Area Field Will Be Removed on Tuesday, October 4thMLS 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. Showing Reminders - Leave Enough Time for Multiple ShowingsMLS wants to remind REALTORS® to leave enough time in between when setting up multiple showing appointments ~ so the Sellers don't come home at 4:05, if you had a schedule of 3:00-4:00, and you are all still there...!

As part of NAR's ongoing efforts to keep its members safe, the Association dedicates September as REALTOR® Safety Month.
Educate, innovate, celebrate! 2016 REALTORS® Conference & Expo, Nov 4-7 in Orlando. This year's theme is "Educate. Innovate. Celebrate!", and, indeed, the event will help REALTORS® get educated on future market trends and provide them the chance to test out all the new innovations changing real estate, as well as celebrate the industry. 
The ABR two-day core course will provide you with the tools and know-how to represent buyer-clients in real estate transactions and provide them the same level of service that sellers typically enjoy. This course also offers ideas and methods for building a buyer-representation business, forming buyer relationships, winning repeat business and referrals, and more. 
This is great opportunity for RANW members to volunteer to help homeowners in your community by raking lawns and other fall lawn maintenance tasks for elderly and disabled residents in your market area. If you are interested, please sign up ASAP so we can determine how many homeowners we can help. Lunch will be provided…you supply the fun!
Start searching right with the most accurate real estate app for homes or apartments for sale or for rent. Realtor.com® is the only app to get real estate listings sourced directly from over 800 MLS's -- 90% of listings refreshed every 15 minutes. Why should your buyers use realtor.com®? 
MLS has recommended a minimum pixel size of 1024x768 for all listing photos. On September 1, that recommendation became a requirement. If members attempt to upload or clone a photo that is smaller than the minimum 1024x768, an error message will appear on the screen.
