Does your seller want daily updates about how many people are seeing their listing on RMLSweb and RMLS.com? Do they want this information only on Saturday? Or perhaps Tuesdays and Thursdays?
RMLS™ can help. Starting Thursday morning February 25th, RMLS™ subscribers will be able to schedule automatic emails to clients with listing view count information.
Not only can subscribers schedule these automatic emails, but the emails will now directly send the data to the recipient, instead of a link to the information.
Here’s how it works. On RMLSweb, use Listing Load to locate the listing. Access the view counts report by clicking “VC” (list view) or “View Counts Report” (detail view). Click the Email button located on the upper right of the screen. Fill in the form as you normally would.
If you wish to send automatic emails, clicking the box marked “Auto Email to Contact” will open the automatic email options below. If your client prefers to see data in a bar or line graph, click on the appropriate option underneath the scheduling information. Check the boxes for days you wish automatic emails to be sent, then click “Schedule” to save.
At this time, RMLS™ can only send one email per day. Emails will be sent as long as the listing is in ACT, BMP, or SSP status.
Need more information? Have questions about the details? Check out Document 1762, How to Use Listing View Counts, on RMLSweb.
Subscribers who need assistance walking through this new system may, as always, contact the RMLS™ Help Desk at (503) 872-8002 or (877) 256-2169.

Are you ready to connect with fellow REALTORS® more easily using RMLSweb? RMLS™ is about to unleash improvements to the RMLSweb roster designed to make your work easier!
In August, the RMLS™ Board of Directors voted to integrate links from RMLS™ websites to REALTOR® agent profiles on Realtor.com. On Thursday, January 28th, RMLS™ will debut the first step in this process when it releases some improvements to RMLSweb roster pages.
Agent Full Reports
While viewing an Agent Full report on RMLSweb, clicking the agent’s name will open a pop-up displaying the broker’s roster information, including a link to their Realtor.com profile. Roster information will also include the license number of both the agent and their office. RMLS™ has added these fields so subscribers may find this information easily for use in various transaction documents.
Once these improvements are live, subscribers should double-check their license number and other information displayed in the roster. If the license number displayed is incorrect, contact the RMLS™ Front Desk for assistance.
Agent or Office Search
Looking for contact information for a specific agent or office? Use the MLS Roster tab on RMLSweb to search for an agent or office. Subscribers may now search for agents by language, designation, or email address!
Coming ahead, RMLS.com—the RMLS™ website for consumers to browse listings—will see the Find a REALTOR® feature improved as well. Consumers coming to the site will be able to find REALTORS® based on the current criteria with added languages and designations. Links to Realtor.com profiles will be available for prospective clients as well.
