Thank You Judd Stevenson!As the incoming RANW and MLS President, and as a member of the RANW and MLS Board of Directors, I wanted to take this opportunity to virtually thank Judd Stevenson for his dedication and commitment to addressing the issues impacting our industry while serving as our President these past two years. Working closely with RANW EVP Margery Chapman and MLS Director Lynn Schwarm, Judd has stayed abreast of those issues affecting our practice and helped guide us effectively through challenging times. NAR Real Estate Forecast Summit: Post-Election OutlookOn December 10th, 2020, NAR held a virtual Economic and Real Estate Summit that provided a year-end review and outlook on the post-election real estate market and the economy. The Summit was recorded and is now available post-event to REALTORS® as a value-added resource you can use in discussing and strategizing about the market with your clients. View it here. Government AffairsLocal Comprehensive Plan UpdatesIn 1999, Wisconsin passed a comprehensive planning law that required communities to adopt specific plans if they regulated land. These statutes require local units of government to update their comprehensive plans every 10 years, and in 2020 most communities were due for the 2nd comprehensive update. Below are a list of some communities that are currently engaged in that process. You will find proposed language for important elements to the real estate industry and property owners such as Housing, Transportation, Economic Development and Land Use. We encourage members to take some time to review these plan updates and provide feedback to RANW and to your local officials.

RANW MLS has two WIREX options - members can use the WIREX side of Paragon to search the entire WIREX database for listings, or if the search area is within RANW's market counties, our members can stay on the MLS side of Paragon to search because RANW MLS imports WIREX listings into the MLS side of the system. The RANW MLS Market Counties are: Adams, Brown, Calumet, Dodge, Door, Fond du Lac, Green Lake, Kewaunee, Lincoln, Manitowoc, Marathon, Marinette, Marquette, Menominee, Oconto, Outagamie, Portage, Shawano, Sheboygan, Waupaca, Waushara, Winnebago, and Wood. Because every MLS is different, WIREX searches are best started with broad criteria. Depending on the number of listings returned, additional criteria may be added to narrow the results as needed. Choosing criteria that might only be used by a few or even only one MLS (like RANW MLS's offer statuses) will weed out listings from MLSs that do not use that field. WIREX Participating MLSs are: Metro (Milwaukee), Central (Mosinee), SouthCentral (Madison), Superior Area, Northwestern Wisconsin, Marinette, Western Wisconsin, La Crosse, Manitowoc, Sheboygan, Rock-Green, Ozaukee, Lakes Area, Racine, and Southshore MLSs. Not participating in WIREX are the Door County and Northwoods MLSs.

WIREX (Wisconsin Real Estate Exchange) is a database that many Wisconsin MLSs, including RANW MLS, share their listings with. WIREX is not a statewide MLS - each participating MLS remains its own entity with its own rules and data. WIREX has its own set of fields that each participating MLS tries to fit its own data into so that all members of all participating MLSs in WIREX can find listings that may fit the needs of their customers.
