Some Notes:

• The FHA 203K and the Laundry-Garage/Carport selections will automatically update on your listing(s). 
• The 3 DAC (Days After Closing) selection under Occupancy will now be a numeric input field to accommodate any time frame as agreed upon by the seller.  If you currently have 3 DAC selected, the number will automatically be populated with the number three (3).
• Listing Type will automatically convert to the correlating data selection
• Video Surveillance is being added to Showing Instructions for informational purposes, Please keep in mind that audio recordings are illegal unless a waiver/release is signed by the buyer and or any party representing the buyer (see Florida Statute 934).  A warning about the use of audio recordings on the property will be included in the newly revised Listing Agreement to be released soon.
• Agency Disclosure is a NEW REQUIRED field that MUST BE UPDATED BY THE LISTING AGENT before any modifications can be completed on the listing.

Saved Searches should not need to be updated unless they contain FHA 203K, 3 DAC, and/or Listing Type or if you would like to include any of the new data fields.
