Message from the 2019 NEFMLS President: Did You Know?

Did you know? 

My name is Kim Knapp and it is my honor to serve as your 2019 MLS President. As Real Estate Professionals, the most powerful tool we have is the MLS. Knowing how to use it at a high level becomes necessary to our success. Any consumer can go online and get tons of information. That doesn’t make it accurate or beneficial to the consumer.

I can hear the little voice in some people’s heads. I have been using the MLS for over 20 years I know how to use it just fine. That may be the case. However, if you have not attended any training in recent years, I would challenge that you are not experiencing all the benefits of having this tool. Not only the MLS Search and Tax platform but also the 3rd party services MLS provides to enhance your ability to service Buyers and Sellers as well as create a unique point of difference.

• How are you using InfoSparks on your listing presentations, in social media or embedded in your website? Are you able to drill down to very specific data then create charts and graphs consumers will understand?
• Are you leveraging Private Portal MLS Searches for your Buyers keeping them connected to you, providing real-time accurate information? Giving them the ability to hide the listings they are not interested in and reduce the clutter, provide access to Documents (survey, Disclosures) they cannot get on an online portal?
• What about how to Leverage the Private Portal MLS Searches with Sellers and Past Customers?
• Have you considered ways to use RPR for Farming, Social Media or your SOI? 

I am just getting warmed up. Please check out the education calendar. Your MLS is fully committed to education and training so members receive maximum value. Call us at the NEFMLS and see if Boot-Camp training can be arranged for your office in your office.

The world of Data is on the move and I can assure you NEFMLS is working every day to stay in front of it. We are continually reviewing products and services that would benefit you in your business. Seeking new ways to cooperate with our neighbors through Data-Sharing. While fully focused on providing the Data you need and the education on how to use it!

If you see something let us know. Ideas? Suggestions? Don’t keep it to yourself.  Send them to suggestions@realtyweb.net.

Kim Knapp
Your 2019 NEFMLS President
