Search For Contacts on Saved Search June 1

On June 1, you will be able to search for existing contacts when saving a search. This will make selecting a contact easier by eliminating the need to scroll through a long list in order to find specific contacts.

The lookup bar will appear when you save a search and select the option for Existing Contacts. Use the lookup to find contacts.



If you click in the contact search bar without typing, a list of all of your contacts will appear and you can scroll through to find and select specific contacts.
 


Start typing a contact's name into the search bar to search for a specific contact. Click the contact to select them as a recipient.
 


If you would like to remove a recipient, click the X next to the email address you'd like to remove.
 


If a contact has multiple email addresses, only the contact's primary email address will appear in the search results. This is because the search is being saved to the Contact's record in Flexmls not to a specific email address. If you choose to Save and Add Subscription, the subscription will be sent to all email addresses that are set to receive notifications for the selected contact.

New Look & Enhancements for Flexmls CMA May 30th

On May 30, Flexmls CMAs will have a new look and several improvements. The changes will include:

·  New Design- the new format includes larger text, photos, and maps;
·  New Charts - two new Price Analysis charts are available: List, Sold and Adjusted Prices and Low, Average, Median and High Prices;
·  Automatic PDF - to ensure optimized appearance for printing and emailing, the CMAs will be automatically created as PDF files when possible.
For more information about creating CMAs click here. (The video may not reflect the new CMA report changes.)

NEW DESIGN
When you create CMAs in Flexmls, they display a larger photo of the subject property, a larger map, larger font, and updated color schemes for the headers and text. These changes are intended to make your CMAs more readable, attractive, and professional looking. 




Just as before, you can adjust the color scheme on the Finish tab. With the new design, the color scheme controls the color of the headings, headers, and footers--the background will remain white.





NEW CHARTS
There are two new Price Analysis charts available that provide a quick, visual comparison of price statistics: List, Sold, and Adjusted Prices and Low, Average, Median and Low, Average, Median, and High Prices. These charts can be added to the CMA on the Finish tab if Statistical Summary is checked. To include the charts in your CMA, check the Display Charts option.

List, Sold, and Adjusted Prices
The List, Sold, and Adjusted Prices chart will only display if you've included Closed listings in your comps. It shows the List Price, Sold Price, and Adjusted Price for the first eight closed comps (as arranged in the Comps tab). If you do not have any adjustments, the Adjusted Price data points will reflect the listing's Closed Price.

If your CMA includes Low, High and Recommended Price for the subject property, they will also be shown on the chart. 




Low, Average, Median, and High chart
If your CMA includes Closed listings, the Low, Average, Median, and High chart will show Sold Price statistics for the comps that are Closed in relation to the Low, High, and Recommended List Price for the subject property. 




Please note, if your CMA does not include Closed comps, the chart will still display. It will include List Price statistics for Active comps only. If your CMA does not include Closed or Active comps, the chart will display List Price statistics for all comps.

AUTOMATIC PDF
The CMA report will be delivered in PDF format when possible to provide consistent appearance. This helps solve the problem of inconsistencies among browsers, printers and operating systems in how they print web pages. In PDF format, the CMA you present to your clients will look the same as the CMA you email to them.

When there are too many comps in a CMA to generate and deliver a PDF report, the report will be delivered as a web page that you can print or email. Note that some browsers (e.g. Edge and Chrome) are able to save web pages as PDF documents for download to your computer.

Search for Contacts when Sending Manual Emails.


On May 17, you will be able to search for contacts when sending manual emails. This will make sending manual emails easier by eliminating the need to scroll through long lists in order to find specific contacts.

The lookup bar will appear on the manual email screen. Use the lookup to find contacts or click the Add New Contact button to create a new contact. 




If you click in the contact search box without typing, a list of all of your contacts will appear and you can scroll through to find and select specific contacts. 




Start typing a contact's name or email address into the search bar to search for a specific contact. Click the contact to select them as a recipient. 




If a contact has multiple email addresses, each address will appear separately.


If you are working on behalf of a contact who has more than one email address and you manually email listings to them, all of their email addresses will be selected by default. 




If you would like to remove a recipient, click the X next to the email address you'd like to remove. 






Edit the List Price, Expiration Date, and photos on Flexmls Mobile Web.

On May 15, you will be able to quickly edit the List Price, Expiration Date, and photos on Flexmls Mobile Web.

Edit Your Listings
When you view the detail screen for one of your listings (via Search or by selecting My Listings on the More tab), tap the Edit link at the top of the screen. On the Edit Listing screen you can change the List Price, the Expiration Date or Add/Edit photos for your listing. 




Edit Photos
On the Edit Listing screen, tap Edit Photos. The mobile photo editor works much like the photo editor in Flexmls Web. Tap Add Photos to add photos from your mobile device or even use the camera to take photos and upload them to the listing. 




Just as in Flexmls Web, you can set the Primary Photo by tapping the Flag icon. Use the other icons to upload replacement photos, rotate the photo, or delete the photo from the listing. Rearrange the photos by using the number in the upper left corner or tap and hold a photo's top bar to drag and drop it into a new position. 




You can also edit the title and caption for each photo. 




Once you're done editing the photos, go to the top of the screen and tap Return to edit your listing. If you are done editing the listing, tap Done. It may take up to 10 minutes for the system to display the changes you've made.

Days On Market is NOW Days On MLS



Effective today, May 3rd, the field formerly known as Days On Market (DOM) in the MLS system is now calculating Days On MLS.

When adding a listing, the system will no longer prompt you for "Listing Date".  Flexmls will automatically use the date the listing was actually added to Flexmls as the start date or "Date Entered In MLS" to calculate the Days On MLS number.

Listings entered prior to May 3 will continue to reflect the original definition of days on market (Listing Date, as entered, through current date).  This will only impact new listings and comparables as of May 3rd and moving forward.
