Do You Want to Be on the MLS Committee? Ever wonder why things happen in the MLS or think about serving on the MLS Committee and wonder how that’s done? The process to serve on this committee is different than any other. First, it’s an elected committee with a limited number of seats determined by a weighted formula based on the MLS’s number of agents, listings, solds and offices. The number of seats available can change each year based on this formula or elected members whose term ends. This number can sometimes also change as a result of members simply changing offices and then perhaps no longer representing the group from which they were elected. You can find more detailed information on this process here. Interested yet? If so please follow these steps to throw your hat in the ring:
Your bio and resume will be presented to the MLS Nominating Committee who are selected at the Annual Business Meeting. The five selected Brokers that serve on the Nominating Committee, as well as the current MLS Committee Chair and the President Elect, meet in November to select candidates. A ballot is created for the annual election where only brokers vote. Members who wish to volunteer their time to serve are very much in demand by the Nominating Committee and always appreciated. If you still have questions, please review the information linked to the main Columbus REALTORS® site. You could also call or E-mail Bryan Dean in the MLS Department at 614.475.4000 and bdean@columbusrealtors.com.

Have you memorized your NRDS number? You will need it soon. Your MLS login is currently your license number preceded by “cr.” For example, an agent whose license number is “123456789” would use “cr.123456789” to login to the MLS. The MLS login for all users will be changing later this year. You will continue to use your current, license-number-based MLS login until you are notified to use the new login. There will be several highly visible announcements prior to the new login requirement later this year. Office administrators: If your login begins with “cr.adminXXXXX”, this change will not affect your login since it does not contain your license number. Assistants: Assistant logins will continue to have a suffix (e.g., “a1”). The license number portion will be replaced by the NRDS number. The new login ID for all MLS users is planned no later than 4th quarter of 2018. It will replace license number with NRDS number. Current format “cr.LICENSENUMBER” will become “cr.NRDSNUMBER”. It is highly recommended that you memorize your NRDS number in advance of the switchover. Find your NRDS ID:
Verify your NRDS number in Flexmls:
View additional information about obtaining your NRDS ID on NAR’s website: https://support.realtor.com/dashboard/getting-started-dashboard/find-nrds/ If your NRDS ID on NAR and MLS do not match, please contact Membership at Columbus REALTORS® at 614-475-4000. – Originally posted on 06/08/2018
