12/01/2011 WRIST December 2011 Newsletter
Introducing FIND

WRIST is pleased to make a new product, FIND, available to the membership. FIND will be another source of data our membership can use when researching a property. FIND also gives our membership the ability to locate information on properties outside of the WRIST MLS.

 

FIND is a product hosted by Realtor.com to make this additional information possible. FIND takes information that is available to the consumer, and adds information only the Realtor community can access. One advantage is that members of WRIST can use this data to generate referral business to their clients moving out of the WRIST area.

 

FIND is available through the smart link section on the home page of MLXchange, and thus requires no additional log in. This new product launch will be a soft rollout with the membership encouraged to access FIND and navigate around the site. Realtor.com feels the product is very intuitive so there is little need for formal training. WRIST will conduct overviews and updates on FIND during the first quarter of 2012 to ensure that the membership is aware of FIND. Please feel free to call into WRIST with any questions you may have.

REALIST Launching Soon

The WRIST Directors entered into an agreement with Realist, the largest aggregator of tax data in the country. The WRIST Board of Directors unanimously voted to incorporate Realist into the WRIST service. The board felt that not only does this new agreement give us access built right into the MLS for our seven primary counties (Shelby, Auglaize, Mercer, Clark, Champagne, Logan and Miami) but four additional counties as well (Allen, Montgomery, Darke and Green). This means that not only can the listing agent use auto-pop for a total of eleven counties during listing maintenance, Realist also offers numerous overlays of data generated by geocodes centered on the unique parcel ID within the eleven counties. The amount of additional data that a member can access will be extraordinary according to David Brisker, CEO of WRIST.

Currently, our plan is to begin offering lecture style training at locations within the WRIST area, then enable Realist for the eleven counties within MLXchange. This will be followed by hands on continuing education training, tentatively to begin next March. This is a rough outline of the training process, which will be clearly defined with exact times and locations in January.

WRIST New Member Orientation

The WRIST new member orientation will be held at the WRIST office on January 9th at 2:00 PM.
