Check out INRIX Drive Time on RMLSweb!

The INRIX Drive Time feature will be ready for you to use in RMLSweb the afternoon of Tuesday, March 26. This new mapping feature allows you to highlight an area — based on specified addresses and available traffic data — of the map, and see listings that meet your clients’ needs for a reasonable drive from home to work, school, a hospital, a grocery store, etc.

Drive Time is based on typical traffic conditions, rather than actual traffic, which includes nonrecurring activity, such as an accident or construction. With Drive Time, you can analyze the extent of a drive by day of week, time of day and length of journey.

Log into RMLSweb, then follow these steps to create a map that shows listings within your desired drive time between locations:

  • Navigate to “Map Search”
  • Click the “Locate” field and enter your destination address
  • Click “Go” to zoom the map in around a pin at the address
  • Click “Draw” and select the “Drive Time” icon
  • Enter your desired Drive Time Duration
  • Choose either “Arrival Time” or “Departure Time”
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • Click “Count” to see listings in the selected drive time area

Additional instructions on how to use Drive Time are available here.

To learn more about INRIX Drive Time and other map search capabilities, contact an RMLS™ Trainer at training@rmls.com to schedule your own personal one-on-one training session. Please let us know if you have any questions!

RMLS™ Client Reports get a Facelift!

RMLS™ Client Reports get a Facelift!

You asked, and we answered! Mobile devices are so prevalent in real estate that we took steps to modernize our client reports.

Starting on Wednesday, April 8 around noon, we will roll out a new, responsive format for these reports. In other words, they will look clean and streamlined on smartphones and tablets, not just a shrunken version of the desktop view.

The most essential info will be shown right up top, with alternating colors for each section to make for easier reading. Speaking of easier reading, the default text size will be 2 points larger (and in a spiffier font!), which helps when looking at a screen or at a printout.

Take a look at the before and after examples below. Bear in mind, this “new” example is just a mockup…you will see an actual photo when you look up client reports in the future.

old version of client report
The old look…
new version of the RMLSweb client report
…and the NEW look!

We welcome your feedback, so please let us know what you think. If this new look is as popular as toilet paper and hand sanitizer, we might find even more ways to modernize our reporting features.

Thanks for being a loyal subscriber, and stay safe as we continue to flatten the curve!
