The deadline for resume submission for candidates for the MLS Committee is Monday, October 31st.

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 details on the election process here.

Interested in Running?

Follow these steps to throw your hat in the ring:

1. If you are not the Broker for your company, you must obtain permission from your Broker to be considered for the ballot.
2. Submit a brief bio or resume (including photo) NO LATER THAN Monday October 31, 2022 at 5:00pm to the MLS at Columbus REALTORS®

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.

A bug fix remedying frequent multifactor authentication logins on the Flex MLS App for Real Estate Pros has been released as of October 10, 2022.

We encourage all users of the Flex MLS app to verify that the most updated version of the app has been installed on your device.

1. Download the latest version of the Flex MLS for Real Estate Professionals app to your device from your app store.
2. Verify that your app is updated by opening the App Store and typing Flexmls. If there is an “UPDATE” button, click the icon and install the update to the Flex MLS for Real Estate Professionals app.
3. If your phone is configured to automatically update your apps, you may already have the most recent version. If all you see is an “OPEN” button in your App store, then you have the most recent version.
4. After the update, you may have to use the multifactor authentication process again. After that, you should no longer have to use the multifactor authentication process the next time you login. 

We appreciate your understanding as the Association transitions to these new platforms. The Columbus REALTORS® staff worked with both vendors to find a fix for the issue that was causing problems across the country.

Additionally, If you have problems with multifactor authentication on your desktop or laptop computer, that is likely a setting with that device. Please contact techsupport@columbusrealtors.com for assistance.
