Some members have been asking about reasons this was done and we hope this post suffices to answer those questions. Thank you!

• Original reasons this was considered
• Distribution of Agent Full Report to Non-MLS Members
• Listings being withdrawn and re-entered solely to reset the DOM values

• As a result of those, primary reason was as follows:
• In order to properly explain what those values ‘really’ mean to any consumer, client, etc., it was felt that communication between the agent and said consumer/client was necessary vs. just handing someone an agent full report and unfortunately, that was happening.

• Again, to reiterate, the Days on Market value was ONLY removed from appearing on the Agent Full Report. It is STILL available as follows:
• From any property detail screen by clicking on the Report View drop down arrow and selecting Res – Days on Market. This report will show the MLS number, Address, City and DOM value.
• From any History report, you can view DOM by listing ‘event’ date by clicking on the Report View drop down arrow and selecting PAR History Report – w/ DOM.
• DOM STILL appears on the search result grid so the ability to sort search results in this method is still valid.

• And finally, through the new Data-Coop utility available to all members through Tempo and reached by clicking the Data Coop link at the bottom of the ‘Search’ menu, you can access the Listing Market and Activity Report which may contain what some of you are looking for.

Kurio allows you to search your MLS database for critical listing data from any web-enabled mobile device including iPhones, iPads, Androids, BlackBerry’s, Palms and Windows Mobile Devices. Along with active and off market properties, you can view nearby homes for sale and open houses.

Entry of the ‘City Name’ is no longer a free form text entry. You are ONLY able to select a value from a pick list. Here's how it works:
• You can either use the drop down arrow and scroll down the list until you find your city or you can start typing in your desired city name in the field and options will appear that you are able to select from a list. In other words, if you type 'gre', Greensboro will come up and you can tab through to your next entry field.
• Should you encounter a situation where the city value you need is not on the list, please follow the instructions below.
1. During normal business hours (8:00AM – 5:00PM EST M-F), just call our office and we can add upon your request.
2. After normal business hours and on weekends, should you be entering a listing and the valid city name you want to select is NOT on the list, save the listing as incomplete and then during the next business day, contact the MLS and we can add the value upon your call and once that occurs you will be able to go into your incomplete listing, make the necessary change then submit listing as Active.
3. Again however, we recommend that you leave the listing in an incomplete status until the city value is entered so that the listing will map correctly and display correctly on any third party websites (IDX, Realtor.com, etc.) when you actually submit as active.

Due to multiple requests, we have just added the links to the County Register of Deeds for our primary 11 county area. These are separate from the County Tax Search links and now both are available to you. Simply expand the sidebar to see the following two Resources:
• County Tax Search Links
       o Property/Parcel information search
• County Register of Deeds Search links
       o Actual deed search

Effective 9/2/2011, in order to continue improving the quality of the data in the MLS, the following fields will now be required:
- All bathroom Location fields (6)
- Half Bath field
- Garage Description field (value of none added if 0 selected in Garage Spaces)

If not completed, these fields will require entry the next time any listing is modified. As always, please provide the most accurate and complete data for your MLS listing.

Due to questions regarding the notices members are getting regarding Untimely Status Change in relation to Closed listings, we want to clarify the MLS Rule 2.5 Reporting Sales to the Service:
- The Rule refers to Final Closing of Sales
- The closing date that should be entered into the MLS is the date that the new deed is recorded.

Please use the "DDP" status in Tempo when there is a Due Diligence contract in place. Leaving the status as "Active" and entering something in "Remarks" or "Agent Only Remarks" will not suffice. The DDP status is included in everyone's default searches and listings in that status are avaialable to third parties such as Realtor.com, IDX Company and Agent Web Sites, Listingbook, Syndication, etc. Triad MLS Rules and Regulations require listing agents to change the status of a listing (Active to DDP, Active to Pending or Pending AB) within one business day. Pending to Closed must be done within three business days from Final Closing of Sales. Listings not in compliance with Triad MLS Rules and Regulations may be subject to fines through your local Association.

Please click link below to learn about the new tool available to Triad MLS members which allows you to report a potential error in any listing to the appropriate Association handling compliance. In addition, you have the ability to check a listing during the entry process to validate against the rules that our compliance system checks for.

Per decisions by the NAR Board of Directors at the 2011 Mid Year Meetings, it is the responsibility of FRANCHISORS to be in compliance with the newly revised NAR IDX Display Rules.

At the point of entry in the MLS system, the agent (after measuring the subject property to the best of his/her ability) will enter the actual square footage obtained from his/her calculation. The MLS system will then display only a range of square footage until the property is closed. When the status is “Closed” the actual square footage the listing agent entered will be seen by users.

The range is determined by the following formula: 10% down then rounded DOWN to the nearest hundred and 5% up and rounded UP to the nearest hundred.

Example:
Actual square feet determined by listing agent: 4100 Range in MLS system would be displayed as: 3600-4400
