RMLS™ recently produced the Green Features Guide, a collaboration with Social, Environmental, and Economic Consulting LLC (SEEC) of Rainier, Washington. The 40 page document is intended to educate brokers about green and/or energy-efficient features found in homes, where those features can be found on RMLS™ listing forms, tips, information resources, and more.
“The guide looks great, and I think it will be a helpful tool!”
– Teresa St. Martin, Certified EcoBroker
RMLS™ was one of the first multiple listing services to include listing fields for energy efficient homes, including energy certifications and other features. Each year the listing forms committee decides what new features to incorporate on RMLSweb, and green fields increase in number each year.
Interest in green building continues to rise, and brokers should find the guide helpful for quickly finding information to add depth to their listings. The Green Features Field Guide was adapted to the RMLS™ Residential Data Input Form by SEEC and is now available for brokers to use as a tool in assisting clients listing their homes, or searching for homes with green features.

Press Release: “Largest REALTOR® MLS in the Pacific Northwest Deepens Its Commitment to Green Fields”
“RMLS™ has been looking for ways to clearly communicate to our subscribers all the ways available in RMLSweb to describe sustainability features, so this cooperation with SEEC was timely and much appreciated!”
– Gail Hare, Executive Vice President of RMLS™

Improvements to the RMLSweb menu bar are set to go live the morning of Thursday, October 31st, as part of this year’s browser compatibility project. These improvements are specifically targeted to improve usability for more web browsers, tablet computers, smartphones, and other mobile devices, but other users may be delighted at the changes as well…
What’s Rolling Out?
We’ll be making design changes to the menu bar (above)—it will be larger, sport a lighter color, and be responsive to the user’s screen size.
Drop-down menus will be easier to navigate, graying out menu bar headers with no link (left) and clearly nesting sub-menus.
Clicking the RMLS™ logo on the left corner above the menu bar will return the user to the desktop page.
Users needing to change their RMLSweb user preferences will be pleased by a new shortcut. Simply click on the user’s name in the upper right corner, and a shortcut will drop down below. (User preferences are currently accessed under the Toolkit option in the menu bar.)
Finally, chatting with RMLS™ will be easier than ever! The chat button will be moved out of the right sidebar (which many RMLSweb users keep minimized) and placed at the top of the page for easier access. Chat was rolled out in February and has been immensely popular.
These improvements will be rolled out during the monthly maintenance outage, scheduled this month for October 30th from 10pm until October 31st at 2am. RMLS™ will continue rolling out browser compatibility improvements through this year, so watch the blog for more in the coming months!
