Dear Technical Terry,
I’m really looking for ways to constructively fill my time with all the social distancing during this pandemic. One of my fellow realtors said they saw some good resources on the RMLSweb desktop page, but I haven’t looked yet. Can you help me out with some ideas?
I’m concerned that what I’m really looking for is a way to ask specific questions about the RMLS™ modules and possibly some third-party software too. How can I do that?

Hi BB,
I can sure relate to your perspective. It can be challenging to keep yourself busy in a constructive manner (instead of, say, just binge-watching Tiger King on Netflix).
The article your fellow Realtor® mentioned is on the RMLSweb desktop page. I have included the info for you below, including links to various resources for our third-party vendors.
Regarding our modules, the RMLS™ Training team has just launched a new one-on-one training concept called Virtual Classroom! Registration is just like any one of our other courses, and here are Virtual Classroom details:
- Classes are scheduled in one-hour blocks.
- Go to Toolkit → Training Registration to find the option for “Web One on One” in the class scheduler.
- Select this option and the date you wish to meet online, then select from the available times.
- Please include any specifics you want us to focus on in the Comments box, then submit your selected date, time and comments.
- A Trainer will confirm the appointment via email and provide you a link to join the video meeting.
- When connecting to the Zoom meeting, using your computer audio is fine, particularly if you have a headset you use with your computer (this is my preferred way of video conferencing). You may also call into any of the phone numbers provided in the meeting information.
See you online BB!!

I notice in the new layout for listings that are presented on RMLSweb that the field “Ttl SQFT” is no longer present. This field gives you at a glance the total sqft in the house including the Lower Level. Currently this field is not there and no where is SQFT shown that includes the lower level, even if it has useable rooms, i.e, bedrooms and family rooms, etc.
Is this a short sight? It is especially annoying with a Day Ranch or a Tri-level.
