National Code of Ethics Day: Especially Beneficial If Your Real Estate License Expires In 2025

Thu., July 7 | 10:00am – 1:00pm | Live Stream
The NAR Code of Ethics Requirement triennial Cycle 7 began January 1, 2022 and ends on December 31, 2024. Our members need it and frankly the more good training taken, the better REALTOR® you are!

The National Real Estate Ethics Day® program was designed by Leigh Brown along with the National Real Estate Ethics Day® Advisory Board and Ethics Panel to meet the learning objectives and minimum criteria established by NAR for the NAR Code of Ethics Requirement. By attending National Real Estate Ethics Day®, (via LIVE STREAM link), you can get your triennial COE requirement taken care of AND give back to our local communities at the same time as a portion of the proceeds (paid by CCAR) go to the NAR REALTORS® Relief Foundation!

MLS TIPS & TRICKS

The often-overlooked POWER SEARCH field at the very top of the Paragon screen is the best way to find a specific property by address, MLS ID, or listing agent’s name.

Clear Cooperation Policy Violations Remain Top MLS Compliance Problem

COMING SOON STATUS is an important, yet commonly disregarded listing input requirement. If you plan to pre-market a property you MUST list it as “Coming Soon” and submit a signed SELM within ONE BUSINESS DAY of marketing outside your brokerage.

Clear Cooperation Policy (MLS Rule 7.5 a)

Within one (1) business day of marketing a property to the public, the listing broker must submit the listing to the MLS for cooperation with other MLS participants. Public marketing includes, but is not limited to, flyers displayed in windows, yard signs, digital marketing on public facing websites, brokerage website displays (including IDX and VOW), digital communications marketing (email blasts), multi-brokerage listing sharing networks, and applications available to the general public.

Let’s say you get a client calling with multiple properties they’d like to see. You can find multiple properties in one search. CUSTOMIZE your QUICK SEARCH to include the MULTIPLE ADDRESSES field. Enter the address number and street name for each address, and your spreadsheet results will show all the desired properties.

If you want to exclude a certain area while doing a search, you can draw a shape on a shape and then exclude it from your search results. Draw around the area you want to exclude, select EDIT and click the checkmark to exclude the results inside that shape.
