September Paragon Enhancements

by

Performance Improvement

In September the following enhancements will be implemented in the Paragon 5 MLS. These changes will enhance your user experience and increase the amount of data at your fingertips! Enhancements include: IDX Broker Attribution (Required by September 1st) and changes to MLS Area & Tour Group (Go into effect September 12th.) 

Paragon 5 MLS Updates (IDX Listing Broker Attribution, MLS Area & Tour Group Changes)
 

Currently, our Internet Data Exchange (IDX) and Virtual Office Website (VOW) rules require displaying the Listing Agent and Listing brokerage name attribution. The National Association of REALTORS® (NAR) has amended the policy with the additional attribution of adding a phone number or email address. The required implementation date for IDX vendors to include the additional attribution is September 1, 2022.

Brokers, if you would like to make your selection that controls the additional attribution requirements you can do so be following the below steps:

  1. Log into Paragon 5
  2. Select “System” on the “Preferences” drop-down menu
  3. Select “IDX / VOW Contact Info” on the left side menu
  4. Choose your selection on the drop down menu and click “Save”.

MLS Area & Tour Group Changes (Effective September 12th):

To ensure increased accuracy of search results and mitigate the usage of certain fields, the following changes will be made to the default searches for all property classes, Open House/Tour searches, and result views.
 
Default Searches (All Property Classes):
The “MLS Area” field will be removed from the default search templates for all property classes. We highly recommended using city or the map search if you are not already. The field will still be available and if you would like to continue leveraging this search filter you can customize your search template.
 
Open House/Tour Searches:
The “Tour Group” field will be removed from the default Open House/Tour search template.
 
Report Views:
The MLS Area field will be removed from the following report views:
Agent 2-Page (New)
Client 2-Page (New)
Agent Report (New)
Client Report (New)
 
The “Tour Group” field will be removed from all tour report views and the “Tour” action icon will be removed from all report views.
 
If you have any questions please contact Member Services at [email protected].
