The MLS Committee completed a review of the Residential MLS reports in April in response to complaints that the Residential full report was too crowded and often spilled onto a second page when printing.

The following modifications/additions have been made to the Residential MLS Reports:
1) CR Full (1-Page) Report – Several modifications made to make the report fit on one page. These include:
– The name is the same in the print dialog box “CR Full Report”, but reads “CR Full 1-Page Report” at the top of the report itself.
– Move MLS number to the top of the report
– Address moved to the top of the report
– Contingency Reason field moved to top directly below Status field (when property is in Contingent Status)
– CDOM and DOM moved to the top
– Style moved to the top
– Approximate Complete Date field moved to right side below New Construction
– Complex/Subdiv Amenities field moved up to left of HOA/COA fields
– Listing Agreement Type, Addl Parcel Numbers, VT link, Windows, Interior Flooring all moved to CR Full 2-Page Report
– Sold Info will appear at bottom only for Sold properties. Otherwise it will be hidden.
– New fields added in the future will always be added to CR Full 2-Page Report.
2) Side by Side with Remarks – New 3-up style columnar report (Released earlier this month)
3) CR Full 2-Page Report – New report with designed to print to two pages.
– larger font size
– additional space between sections
– full A2A Remarks (CR Full 1-Page is limited to only 25% of the A2A remarks for space limitation)
– All additional fields will appear on the CR Full 2-Page report

MLS Technical Support has seen that Realist is completely unavailable at this time.  This outage is unexpected and not planned maintenance.  Auto-population of tax data for new listings is included in this outage.

We will update this post when Realist is restored or when more information is available.

A new report is now available in the MLS.  “Side by Side with Remarks” is a 3-up columnar report.  It will allow any 3 selected listings to be displayed “side-by-side” for easy review and comparison.  This report is now available for display, print, and email for all Residential listings.  Since this report is primarily intended for print (and PDF), it will sometimes display only 1 property on the Detail screen and when sent by email.  You can still print preview the report (as can the client) and the report will show 3 properties at a time.

To use the new report, simply select the report in the print or email window or even the drop-down list on the Detail tab.  If more than 1 property is selected, the report will automatically display and print 3 listings at a time.

If you left a voicemail after 2pm Tuesday, May 26 and have not received a call back from the Columbus REALTORS staff member you were trying to reach, please call again.

Due to technical issues encountered during this week’s phone system upgrade, some voicemail and incoming calls have been lost.  Some calls were misdirected to invalid extensions and voicemail failed to be recorded correctly by the new phone system.  The error that caused this is being corrected.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.
