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 or sometimes 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:

1. Obtain permission from your Broker to be considered for the ballot.
2. Submit a brief bio or resume (including photo) by October 31, 2017  November 6, 2017 at 4:00pm 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 Realtors® that serve on the Nominating Committee 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.

Be cautious of fake e-mail allegedly from DocuSign
Greg Swearingen, Howard Hanna Realcom Realty, received a bogus e-mail supposedly from DocuSign that appeared to be legitimate. Had he followed the link provided in the e-mail and clicked REVIEW DOCUMENT, it’s likely that it would have attempted to install a virus of some sort or get him to disclose sensitive password information. Red flags were 1) he was not expecting an e-mail from DocuSign and 2) when he put his mouse cursor over the link, his browser displayed the following link: https ://bluejeri.com.br/ — a website setup in Brazil.  He forwarded the e-mail to spam@docusign.com and they provided him with the following tips to help spot the difference between real and spoof DocuSign e-mails:

• All URLs to view or sign DocuSign documents will contain “docusign.net/” and will always start with https.
• All legitimate DocuSign envelopes include a unique security code at the bottom of notification e-mails. If you do not see this code, don’t click on any links or open any attachments within the e-mail, forward it to spam@docusign.com.
