RANW Forms Committee and New Offer to Purchase

Very Important Notice - The New Residential Offer to Purchase has an optional use date of November 1, 2019, and mandatory use date of January 1, 2020 ~ We are strongly encouraging member companies that you NOT begin using the new Offer to Purchase nor allow your agents to use until the RANW Addenda have been updated as well as training completed on both the new Offer and RANW Addenda.

Training - RANW will post additional information regarding the time frame for both training and release of the new addenda in the near future.

Maurer, Kevin Purtell, Chris Renderman, Amy Schaetz, Michael Sewell, Kris Villars, and Barb Yaeger) who have been hard at work the past year and half, would also like to thank the other RANW members who have contributed their time to both DSPS Forms Council and WRA Forms Committee on the revisions to the new Residential Offer to Purchase.

WRA Housing Study

The Wisconsin REALTORS® Association (WRA) released a groundbreaking new study, "Falling Behind," that shows a severe workforce housing shortage and highlights the need for bold bipartisan action now to address this growing concern. From a high of more than 30,000 single-family home permits authorized in 2004, to fewer than 12,500 permits authorized in 2017, Wisconsin is on the cusp of not being able to adequately provide housing for today's growing workforce needs.
The detailed report showcases the primary causes of the workforce housing shortage and the subsequent results that this shortage brings to the state of Wisconsin.

The Homesnap App is coming!

RANW MLS, through Paragon, has partnered with Homesnap to bring all these benefits to you, for free. Homesnap is a search portal, featuring the same accurate, real-time information that Members use, straight from our Multiple Listing Service. The industry-endorsed Homesnap platform leverages real-time data from 180+ MLSs to empower millions of consumers each month with a superior home search experience, while providing over 75% of U.S. agents with access to powerful, intelligent mobile tools that make them more productive and accelerate their success. 

Homesnap Pro Features:

  • Highly visual, detailed listings, give you instant access to HD photos, school attendance zones, property lines, property history, and much more.
  • Homesnap will immediately alert you to new listings, price changes and any other market updates in the zip codes you want to watch.
  • In-app messaging lets you share homes with friends, family and agents, even if they aren't on Homesnap. Their reply will go right back to the app so you can find and discuss homes all in one place.
  • Using Homesnap as a Broker/Agent, you can connect your property listings or property interests directly to social media including Facebook, Instagram, or messaging a client.
  • Digital Marketing for Agents - Customize everything! Instant CMAs right from your phone!
  • It's easy to create a video, voice over or update about your property to share with clients right in the Homesnap app. You can even augment reality by taking a real photo and adding 3D images or text.
  • Driving down the road and see a property for sale? Take a picture of it in the app! The listing information from the MLS populates as soon as the photo is taken.
  • In-app integration including ShowingTime and a complete directory of every office and agent in the MLS.

  • An email with information on how to register and download the app will be sent by Homesnap on the morning of October 22nd (expect an email from noreply@homesnap.com). There's a live training webinar on October 23rd just for RANW members from 10am-11am - sign up here: (
