Mass Emails to MembersMLS has received numerous requests from members that mass-email such as announcements of new listings, open houses, etc. should not be sent to other members or companies without prior consent. Sold-Comp Only Listings Reported to RANW MLSPer RANW MLS Rules, Section 5.7, these may be submitted to MLS for comp purposes: If offices have Office Exclusives or One-Party Listings, or FSBOs sold under Buyer Agency Agreements that do not sell through MLS, they can with Seller and or Buyer authorization as appropriate, report these sales through MLS as a Comp Only. This builds a more complete and useful database of comp information to benefit all members. Previously MLS required members to only submit their Sold-Comp Only listings to MLS for entry by Data Entry. RANW was able to have Paragon allow for use of LIM to enter listings, and go through same required process of having the listing go into unconfirmed visibility to allow for review of all pertinent required data. This will also make sure that a comp-only listing does not get added to the Searches, Prospects and statistics and into the Collab System to a buyer when it should not.Process/Rules: To Enter: ~ Listing-Selling Company may enter these type of listings on line in Paragon under LIM, as Sold-Comp Only status ~ or the MLS Data Entry staff will be happy to enter these listings into the MLS System for you. Please see link (http://www.ranw.org/mls/submitalisting.asp) for data forms and or a blank sold status form. To Qualify: ~ The listing must have all the required data fields and features filled in ~ There must beat least the one main exterior photo of the property ~ The proper Sold data for this property, including the correct "Type of Sale" info. Please click here to see this important information. Most often the sale is "Non-Arms Length", which means: a sale that did not hit the open market. An example would be for sale by owner, or an individual owner selling the property to a family member, or other individual when the property was not exposed to open market conditions. ~ The listing had a one party contact to list or sell this property (and was not entered into the MLS System as an active listing ~ and sold during either of these agreements). To have sold/comp only listing entered into MLS: a listing data form needs to be completed with all of the required fields, along with all of the required sold information Please click here for a link to data forms and or a blank sold status form. If you have questions, please call or email listings@ranw.org Data Entry staff and they will be pleased to assist you. November Homebot Webinar ScheduleHomebot is a new item available in Paragon that is an automated marketing and relationship management tool. This is optional in Paragon and has a fee associated with it.
