New Tessera Report Template in Flexmls: The Summary Flyer

Introducing Our New Tessera Report Template: The Summary Flyer | Flexmls

Tessera Reports are quick, one-page listing reports that are easy to create and edit on Flexmls Web. As part of our continuing efforts to improve them, on July 19th we are releasing a new template: the Summary Flyer which can display summary information for multiple listings per page.  

When Will It Change
This new Tessera Report template will be available on July 19, 2018.

Who Will Be Affected
All users with the ability to create and edit Tessera Reports will have access to this new template.

What Will Change
To create a new Summary Flyer, use the Menu to find and select My Reports. Select New and choose the Tessera Report option. Click on the Summary Flyer template to create a new report.

The top container displays your branding information. Click on the container to edit the fields that will display – your Name will always be included in the branding.

The second container controls the fields that will display for the listings in the report. Click on the container to add and edit which fields will appear.

Save the changes and you will be able to use the report when emailing, printing, and viewing listings. When printing the report, the first page will show the branding container and five listings, and each additional page displays up to six listings.

Why Are We Making These Changes
The ability to create a summary report that can be used to display multiple listings per page makes the Tessera Reports even more versatile. This change is part of an ongoing effort to improve Tessera Reports and ensure that they meet the needs of agents and brokers.

A Message From Agent Inbox

"We regret to inform you that Agent Inbox will be shutting down. 

Agent Inbox will be turned off to users sometime on the week of July 10th. Parts of the application may stop functioning before then. 

We still believe that Agent Inbox is the premier way for real estate agents to communicate, schedule, and conduct real estate transactions and are thankful for the immense support we have received from all of our customers.

In the coming weeks, you will receive an email with instructions on how to export your historical messages and showings.

We are confident real estate transactions will continue to move towards messaging to become the primary way people communicate in the industry. We appreciate your support and we look forward to serving you again in the future.

Tyler Gordon
CEO & Co-Founder"

In light of this development, the link for Agent Inbox will be removed from Flexmls on Friday, July 6th.  You will still be able to access your stored conversations and contacts from the mobile app until July 10th as stated above.

NEFMLS Supports the NAR MLS of Choice Policy

The National Association of REALTORS® has approved the following MLS of Choice Policy which is required to be followed by all REALTOR® owned MLS’s.

“Effective July 1, 2018, that MLSs be prohibited from requiring participation by all offices of a real estate firm within the shareholder association(s) jurisdiction and that MLSs be required to provide a no-cost waiver option of MLS fees, dues and charges for licensees affiliated with an MLS Participant who can demonstrate their subscription to another MLS. Further, that references to MLS “jurisdiction” or “territory” be changed to “service area” to reflect the true nature of the location and help eliminate confusion over the jurisdiction of shareholder association(s).”

The jurisdiction in which Northeast Florida Multiple Listing Service, Inc. (NEFMLS) operates is the state of Florida.

NEFMLS has never required all offices of a corporation to join NEFMLS.

NEFMLS does require the broker of the office to belong to the NEFMLS before the licensee can join NEFMLS.

Only the personal listings of the individual licensee or broker may be entered into the NEFMLS system. The broker may not put all listings in NEFMLS under their name.

The broker and licensee are required to provide NEFMLS with a signed waiver along with proof of a current paid membership in another MLS where the principal broker participates in order to be exempt from payment of NEFMLS fees.  This waiver can be found in the MLS systems under Forms/Info.

NEFMLS may terminate and charge the broker and the licensee full fees including penalties for falsification or violation of a waiver.  Please be sure to review the Rules & Regulations for the NEFMLS.

If you have any questions concerning our policy on MLS of Choice, please contact us at (904) 394-9494 X1603.
