RMLS™ is combining forces with HomeSpotter to bring an easy-to-use mobile app to RMLS™ subscribers on Monday, September 12th.
Activating the HomeSpotter app will give instant access to RMLSweb listing information to RMLS™ subscribers out in the field. HomeSpotter offers a simple interface for ease of use, and can call up details on a listing in less time than it takes to sign in to RMLSweb.
HOMESPOTTER FEATURES
HomeSpotter can easily find listings by typing in a MLS number, address, city, or ZIP code.
The app can also use location data to display a map of nearby listings that have been on the market over the last year. Zooming in on the map will reveal more listings than can be seen in the top-level view.
If all else fails, HomeSpotter can even use your phone’s camera and location to pinpoint a listing that’s right in front of you! Activate this feature, navigate the screen to the property in question, and HomeSpotter will deliver listing information in a flash.
HomeSpotter’s other tools include a menu item to quickly access your own listings, access to the RMLSweb agent roster to connect with with another RMLS™ subscriber, and a handy mortgage calculator.
SOUND INTERESTING?
Download HomeSpotter on your mobile device through the Apple App Store or Google Play. Activate your account with a unique activation code found on RMLSweb by clicking on “Homespotter” under the Toolkit menu.
Downloading the app and using this service is completely free to RMLS™ subscribers.
JOIN A WEBINAR
HomeSpotter will hold two training webinars next week to give RMLS™ subscribers a guided tour of the app. Sign up for a webinar on Tuesday, September 13th at 2:00pm-2:30pm or Thursday, September 15th from 10:00am-10:30am. HomeSpotter will give a demonstration of the app and then open the floor to questions from the group.
If you’re in need of a friendly mobile option for referring to RMLSweb listings, we hope you’ll find HomeSpotter an invaluable tool.

Ever find an under construction listing on RMLSweb and wonder why an actual home appears in the photographs? Ever show an empty house and wonder where all the furniture in the listing photos went? We’d like to help.
RMLS™ will release a new feature Monday, August 22nd, designed to help clarify listing photos uploaded to RMLSweb. Two types of photos will now require watermarks: photos with virtual staging, and photos of a model home.
Photos that are virtually staged include furniture and other items that have been added electronically to a photograph. Under construction or proposed listings that feature an actual built house in photographs are not an exact representation of the listed property, and as such will need to be flagged as a sample image.
If you have a listing with either or both of these features, you can set the watermark(s) in Listing Load on RMLSweb. Open the photo loader, and check the appropriate box(es) in the right hand corner. Don’t forget to save the changes.
Checking these boxes will create watermarks on listing photos that read “virtually staged” or “sample image,” eliminating confusion about the photographs.
Saving a photo with checkbox(es) marked permanently alters the image stored on RMLS™ servers. This means if you accidentally add a watermark in error, you’ll need to delete the photo and upload a clean copy using the photo loader.
Do note that when preparing a new listing, the listing will need to be published before the Sample Image box is available in Listing Load.
The RMLS™ Rules and Regulations have been revised to reflect these new photo requirements, which take effect as soon as the feature is rolled out on Monday, August 22nd.
Confused by the new change? Need advice about a specific listing? Contact the RMLS™ Help Desk at (503) 872-8002 or (877) 256-2169.
