Soon, visitors to the public site RMLS.com will see advertising. We are working with a company that will help us create non-dues revenue by incorporating ads into our public website. Note: This does not affect RMLSweb!
The ads that appear on RMLS.com will not be ads of competing real estate companies. Rather, they will be businesses that are complimentary to real estate and not direct competition. For example, ads are provided by businesses such as Home Depot, Ikea, Crate and Barrel and Dell. Check out the images below to see examples:

When loading a new listing, a REALTOR® has a multitude of factors to consider. While worrying about complex issues such as pricing and competition, it can be easy to forget a regulation or two. However, a basic understanding of our rules and regulations will help make the listing process easier and more efficient for both REALTOR® and client.
The following are some of the most frequently forgotten rules and regulations that a REALTOR® should keep in mind to ensure his or her listings are correct, fair, and – most importantly – effective!
If you would like to get reacquainted with all of our up-to-date rules and regulations, please check out Document 1450 at RMLSweb. You might also like to take our most recent Rules and Regulations Quizzes (Quizzes 14 and 15), to test yourself!

We’ve received input from subscribers about their desire to print multiple reports, such as History and Tax full, along with Agent and Client Full reports. It’s now possible! The Combined Reports feature that is now available on RMLSweb allows agents to print multiple reports for a maximum of 25 listings at one time. Agents can gather information related to a particular property or set of properties with fewer clicks of the mouse!
To create a Combined Report, select up to 25 listings on the Search Results screen and then choose “Combined Reports” from the “Select Report” drop down list. Due to the size of the report, Combined Reports are limited to 25 listings. You can drag and drop reports to arrange in the sequence you choose and also print or PDF a Combined Report.
A new report called Client Map is also available in Combined Reports. This report shows information similar to the Buyer Tour Map report and also has a large map image. Client Map is available on its own or can be included in Combined Reports.
If you’d like help getting to know Combined Reports, view this tutorial for more information:

After hearing requests from subscribers, the Listing View Counts feature is now available on RMLSweb. This means that listing agents are now able to see how often the public and other subscribers are viewing their listings.
In addition, listing agents can share the impact of their online marketing efforts by showing their clients the Listing View Counts report. Agents can also use these statistics in listing presentations and to see if a listing is being considered, but not shown.
To access Listing View Counts, follow these steps below:
1) Access your listings in Listing Load under Back Office. You will see the Listing View Counts button to the far right (lower) of the screen.
2) You can select the “View Counts” button to see a quick snapshot of your listing view counts.
3) Then, you can select the “View Counts Report” button to see more detail on listing views. For example, you can see more detail on listing views from the day before, 7, 14, or 30 days back, and the life of a listing (as far back as 8/1/2010).
4) On the Listing View Counts Report page, you will see the ability to convert to PDF or print in the upper right corner of the screen.
Remember, each time a report is viewed counts as a listing view and listings are not counted when they come up in a search, but when a more detailed report is selected.
