Realist 2020 Update is here!

Realist 2020 – Improvements, New Features, and HTML

Realist has released their 2020 edition of their system and it is live now here for Columbus and Central Ohio Regional MLS!

The most notable update is the removal of Adobe® Flash®.  The updated, Flash@-free Realist environment is expected to be more responsive and with a much more modern user interface.  The basic navigation and functionality are very similar to the old versions. This will help maintain a familiarity which will make it easy to learn and use the new version. Realist has added several NEW features in additional to improvements and removing the Flash® install requirement.

To Help with the transition, Realist has made available several video resources. As Realist releases additional help and resources, we will make these available on an updated version of this post. See the links below:

You can sell your lockbox

You can sell your lockbox

With the temporary closure of Columbus REALTORS® offices, we are aware that many members are struggling to acquire Supra lockboxes for their listings. While the association will not be facilitating the sale or purchase of used lockboxes, we wanted to remind you that you can always sell lockboxes you are not using to other members of Columbus REALTORS®.

Here is the list of those who have interest in purchasing or selling lockboxes:

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ON8O_7xQ8pqN1M9hgwg0lXXd2tFK_YjYW8mabEtJDmY/edit?usp=sharing

To make such an exchange official, simply fill out the form with the seller’s signature at the bottom. FYI – The price of a brand-new lockbox is typically $118.25.

We ask that you be cautious, follow the guidelines that the Dept. of Health has posted, and meet in a safe place for any exchange.

If you have questions about the eKey system in general, please call/text (614) 996-3004 or email keybox@columbusrealtors.com.

Thank you all so much for your continued patience and we will continue to assist in every way we can.
