Columbus REALTORS® will introduce SSO for all members sometime on the evening of Sunday, August 21. YOU CANNOT LOGIN TO SSO BEFORE SUNDAY NIGHT!

SUMMARY: Beginning Sunday night (but not before), you will be required to login to the SSO to gain access to all things MLS.

How do I login to MLS starting SUNDAY NIGHT?

1. Go to http://columbusrealtors.com
2. Click the PORTAL button at the top of the screen
3. Login to the member portal (you should receive an email early in the day on Sunday). Remember, SSO will not be available until Sunday EVENING.
4. You may have to “authenticate” your login (you’ll received a text message with code)
5. Your Username for SSO should be the same as your old Flexmls login (except Admins/Assistants – more info at bottom)
6. Once you’re logged into the member portal, just click Flexmls icon to be forwarded to MLS.
7. You MAY have to login 1 time to Flexmls with your new SSO password, especially on mobile/phone.
   

What about my phone? Is that SSO too?

Yes. You will need to go to columbusrealtors.com and sign in to the member portal (SSO) on your phone. Click the button inside the SSO dashboard to go to Flexmls (or other sites). This will work the same as on a computer.

What is SSO?

Hopefully you’ve already heard of SSO (Single Sign-On). If not, here’s the short version. SSO basically means you log in to a single site. That single login gets you access to multiple apps and sites. This means you have many fewer passwords to remember. You sign in through the SSO, then just click a button in the SSO “dashboard” to launch other software.

Office Admins and Unlicensed Assistants

All admins and assistants will be required to create a new account. The old format logins “cr.adminXXXX” and “cr.NRDS#a1” accounts will no longer work. New ADMIN accounts will have to be given MLS Access by the Broker. Assistant accounts will have to re-establish Superuser connections to their agent. There will be an FAQ on the member portal login screen with specific instructions.

More information will be provided in the coming days

Did you know that on average, it takes a person about 90 minutes to open an email, but only 90 seconds to open a text?

As of June 23, you can share single or multiple listing(s) from Flexmls Desktop to Homebuyers via text message. You can access this new text message feature using the new Share button on the Quick Search and Change Listing page.

How does it work?

• Before you can start sharing listings with your clients, there is a 1 time opt-in email sent to your client.  You will then receive an email notifying you of their opt-in status.

• Once your client has accepted the opt-in request, you can start texting listings to that client using the new Share button.
• You will also be able to Share listing(s) via text message on the Change Listing page
• You can invite clients to opt-in to text messages from the Contact Management page. Here you can send the invitation to opt-in or reinvite if they have previously opted out.

• Once your client has opted in to receive text messages, they will be able to receive links to listing(s) that you share via text. From there, they can open the link and view the listing(s) on their phone.

• Listings will always be sent from the same, generic telephone number.  Your client cannot reply to the text, but can interact with you on the Client Portal if it is enabled.

A purchase agreement between a buyer and a seller does not negate a member’s obligations to follow the MLS’ Rules and Regulations, which is an independent contract existing between the member listing broker and the MLS.

If a listing is in Coming Soon status and the seller accepts a curb offer in which the buyer asks to see the property, you must ‘End Coming Soon’ before showing the property or you are in violation of MLS Policy 1.05.04 – Showing a Listing During a No Showings Allowed Period.
