A suspicious Package or your Safe MLS Token?
December 18th, 2007 Categories: MLS and IDX
If you receive a suspicious package in the mail sometime between today and the next couple weeks don’t be alarmed. It’s just your new SAFE MLS Token provided my MRIS.
In an effort to tighten security and protect the integrity of the information our Multiple List System provides, the SAFE MLS secure login process is now being implemented. Tokens are beginning to ship today.
Here are a couple things you can do to make sure you get your Secure Login Token.
- Make sure MRIS has your right email address. Have you been receiving emails from them recently?
- Log in to MRIS and check your account settings. Is all of your contact information correct?
- If you need support check out the MRIS Support Page.
Temporary Unavailability Scheduled for MRIS System at 11 PM on 12/18
Single Sign On capability and new functionality, including Secure Login, will be implemented on the evening of Tuesday, December 18, beginning at 11 p.m. During the implementation, the following portions of the MRIS system will be temporarily unavailable:
- Matrix
- Mris.com
- Keystone
- Keystone Photo Upload
- Lingo
- Titan
The implementation is expected to take 4 hours.
I would like to hear comments on your experience or opinion on the new security measures. It may take some getting used to but in the long run I think it will enhance the value of the data we rely upon as real estate agents.

How could a Social Network drive broker profit?
November 15th, 2007 Categories: Real Estate 2.0
While at an Associate Leadership Council Meeting yesterday for the Ellicott City Keller Williams office I discovered an immediate need that could be solved by a Social Networking approach.
While discussing the current real estate market in Ellicott City we shared our successes, our challenges, and goals for our business in 2008. That is by far one of the greatest benefits of Keller Williams. Agents are considered partners in the business.
The focus was both on our market center as well as our personal business. We quickly recognized a need to match up experienced agents in need of support with hungry and willing agents in need of opportunity and training. We discussed win-win scenarios and creative solutions to partner with each other to support each other.
Another need we talked about was a better way to communicate and share resources. How could we network with each other to take advantages of our individual strengths? How could we create a Win-Win?
A Private Social Network is the answer.
For example, let’s say that the Keller Williams office of Ellicott City creates a small Social Networking site where agents can create their profile. Real Estate agents would then form their biography, resume, strengths and weaknesses, and goals. Agents could have the ability to “link up” with other agents for projects and partnerships.
So, when a top agent needs a qualified buyers agent they could just browse the talent located their in the office. Or, when a new agent decides they want to jump into the foreclosure business they could search for other agents who are considered experts in the area.
The social networking site that would be created could also include business partners with a rating system so other agents could choose wisely. The possibilities are endless, the opportunities are at our fingertips.
Brokers win too, just think about it. By creating a more productive team profits will follow. And other successful agents will be attracted to your office.The concepts of social networking are beginning to spread to more and more people. Developers are currently working on a host of new ways to use technology in the real estate business. Now is the time to adopt a forward looking perspective on the future of real estate. Technology will make the biggest impact in the years to come.
Please post if you want to recommend a social networking solutions for real estate brokers or teams or have any other comments.

Psst…Top Producer 8i
November 6th, 2007 Categories: Top Producer Software
There is plenty of talk about Top Producer 8i being released in the near future along with the improvements that are expected. I am currently beta testing the product for Top Producer and can say that you will be pleasantly surprised at the new Top Producer 8i.
Because of my agreements with Top Producer as an Independent Agent I can’t go into too much detail. Certainly the best part of Top Producer 8i is the fact that we depart from the Java Applets and move to a true web application. This allows for multiple tabs and windows and speedier response time. Some of the other tidbits are that they have added some drag and drop functionality and have included some basic business metric tools. (How many leads have you received today?)
Top Producer 8i is supported by it’s strong foundation of relationship management as well as transaction management. Current users of Top Producer Software will have few problems migrating to Top Producer 8i. There will still be a need for Top Producer Training for all proficiency levels.
Stay tuned for more information and availability!
