WCR: Monthly Coffee Social – Tomorrow, Mar. 4
West County Marketing Meeting – This Thu., Mar. 5
Do you have artwork or furnishings in an upcoming listing that you’re tempted to toss? Before you do, join us for the West County Marketing Meeting this Thursday, March 5, from 8:45am – 10:00am at the CCAR Hercules office and hear from Deric Torres, Senior Vice President of Clars Auctions.
Deric has helped sell hundreds of pieces—artwork and furnishings alike—for thousands of dollars, and in some cases ten times that amount. You may be surprised what “worthless” items can be worth.
Enjoy free breakfast bagels from Noah’s Bagels, plus fresh fruit and beverages. Come learn something new, connect with your peers, share upcoming listings, and have some fun. Hope to see you there!
Affiliates: if you’d like to donate a small item for the end-of-meeting drawing (and promote your business), please contact Steve Kendall at [email protected].

Upcoming MLS Updates – April 15
We’re updating the MLS to give you more control when adding your listings. These improvements help create better search results and give your property details the attention they deserve.
- Directions to Property: Character limit increased from 50 to 70 to allow for clearer, more complete directions.
- Public Remarks: Character limit increased from 1,000 to 2,500 characters.
- Listing Photos: Maximum number of photos increased from 60 to 99.
- Water and Sewer Features: These will now appear as separate feature categories for more accurate data entry and search results.
- New Selectable Features:
- “Taxiway Properties” added to X – Lot Description in the Residential class and H – Lot Description in the Lots & Land
- “Aircraft Hangar” added to N – Garage/Parking in the Residential class
New MLS Status: Sold Off MLS
This status is designed to improve data accuracy and provide a clearer picture of market activity. It allows subscribers to enter a property that was sold before being submitted to the MLS, ensuring it is captured for comparable and reporting purposes. Meaning, at the seller’s request, the property was never entered into the MLS prior to the sale.
