REALTOR NEWS

June is National Homeownership Month

June is National Homeownership Month, a time to celebrate and promote the American Dream of owning a home. REALTORS® know that homeownership is the best investment an individual can make to build their personal wealth, however, owning a home is not just in the best interest of the homeowner.
Homeownership provides social stability, builds communities and is a driving force for the national economy.
June is a time to reiterate what REALTORS® across the country have always known, that it is in the best interest of the nation that anyone who is able and willing to assume the responsibilities of owning a home should have the opportunity to pursue that dream in a safe, responsible way.

WRA Distinguished Service Award (DSA) Applications Deadline June 30th

The WRA DSA award provides recognition to REALTORS® or employees whose time, effort and creative imagination have enabled the association to better serve its members. Application deadline is June 30, 2019.

DSA Award Criteria

The DSA is the WRA's most prestigious award. While intended to recognize high-quality service to the association on a long-term basis, the DSA should not necessarily be viewed as an "end-of-career" or "lifetime achievement" award. Recipients shall have demonstrated a high level of commitment to the WRA; contributed a substantial amount of time, effort and creative imagination; and established a record of effective participation in association affairs. Recipients' association activities shall have set a high standard and be worthy of emulation. The DSA will be awarded only once to each recipient. Eligibility: All current members, local association executives and WRA employees with at least five years of membership or employment are eligible to receive the award.

Action Icons Explained

Action icons are shortcuts to additional information about a property.
Available action icons will vary depending on the information available for the listing, and with the services that the Listing Company has included for their listing(s). Click
this link for details on what each icon will do. 

Power Search Can Use Voice Recognition

Black Knight is proud to introduce Voice Recognition in Power Search with the Paragon 5.70 release. This new functionality gives users the option to use voice input for Power Search. This new feature is a live prototype showcasing future possibilities in using Voice Technology in the Paragon Suite of products. As a result, initially, this functionality will be limited to the Google Chrome browser in Windows, MacOS, and Android.To explore this exciting feature and begin using Voicen Recognition, simply click the Microphone icon in the Power Search field. The first time you use Voice Recognition, Google Chrome will ask for permission to use your microphone.

If you allow permission, a modal displays indicating Power Search is recording. The recording ends when the user stops speaking for a moment.

The Power Search processes the spoken input and returns the search results.

If recording permissions have been denied, or no microphone is present, a warning message is returned reading a message similar to "I cannot find your recording device. Please activate it and try again or input your query above."

Recording permissions can be enabled or disabled in Chrome browser settings at any time.

Note: The voice recognition function is natively supported in the Chrome browser with the following operating systems: Windows, MacOS and Android. This functionality may be used on other devices (iPhone, iPad) via the recording function of the keyboard. Older iOS devices may not support voice recognition via the keyboard.

Action Item: To use Voice Recognition Power Search, you will need to give Chrome permission to access your microphone. No other action is required to implement this functionality.

Supra Agent Alert - Send an Alert Notification With Your Supra Key

Agent Alert is a feature built into Supra's eKEY, providing peace of mind for agents anywhere. With the press of a button, agents have a simple discreet method to send an alert message to selected contacts. The message and up to three contacts are set up in advance.

Holding the alert button automatically sends the message to the contacts. The message can be sent as an email or text message. A link to a map of the key's exact location is included with the message. For more information click here

Broker Messaging Service

With the Broker Messaging Service feature, Brokers can create and send messages to all keyholders within their office. The eKEY app allows two areas with 5000 characters each for the message. For more information regarding Broker SupraWEB features click here.

Data at the Door Tips

Data at the door gives the showing agent access to real-time data as they enter a property. When a key container is opened, the eKEY retrieves the keybox serial number and the GPS coordinates. If the keybox is assigned to a listing, the listing information is displayed.
Note: If Supra does not have an agreement with the organization to retrieve listing data, listing information is not displayed. In addition, when a cooperating key (a key from a cooperating association/MLS) opens a keybox,listing information is not displayed.
If the keybox is not assigned to a listing, the eKEY uses the GPS coordinates to retrieves all listings within 100 meters. The agent can select the address of the keybox they opened to display the data at the door.
