RMLS™ staff is constantly working on ways to improve RMLSweb, either by improving existing features or adding new ones. In July, subscribers will see the following improvements to our system…
Bing Maps Coming to CMAs
As of this evening, the Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) tool on RMLSweb will allow setting the map point for the subject property using Bing Maps! This is one of the final pieces in our conversion to Bing, meaning a CMA subject property map will now sport the enhanced map performance and graphic look found elsewhere on RMLSweb.

Office Email Designation
Principal brokers will now have the ability to set an officewide email address to appear on all listings that originate from their brokerage.

In order to set up your office’s email address, navigate to Toolkit in the RMLSweb navigation bar and click on “User Preferences.” Select the “Company Email/Logo” tab, and fill in the email field at the top. (Don’t forget to save!)
Office email information will appear in both the office roster and in the Agent Full and Data Only reports on RMLSweb.
Coming Soon: New Map Search and More!
We’ll be rolling out a new map search interface on RMLSweb. Watch the RMLScentral blog for more information in the coming weeks!
And don’t forget, as the year continues we’ll be working on our biggest project of the year, full browser and tablet compatibility!
Subscribers seeking assistance with these changes or any other RMLSweb features may contact the RMLS™ Help Desk for assistance by calling (503) 872-8002, emailing helpdesk@rmls.com, or by clicking the chat button on the right sidebar of RMLSweb.
All of us at RMLS™ hope subscribers will appreciate these improvements to RMLSweb!

Planning to exit the real estate industry? Need to unload extra lockbox inventory?
Hurry in to RMLS™!
RMLS™ will be ending its standard buyback of used Supra lockboxes on August 1, 2013, as part of our upcoming transition to SentriLock. RMLS™ currently buys back Supra lockboxes at a rate of $40 per lockbox, with a check issued to the subscriber one or two weeks later.
All Supra lockboxes (new or used) sold by RMLS™ after September 1st will be priced the same as a new SentriLock lockbox—$89.
RMLS™ will switch to SentriLock this fall. Events will be held around the RMLS™ region in October and November, allowing subscribers a one-for-one exchange on Supra lockboxes registered in their name. We are currently in the process of finalizing the venues for these exchange events, and subscribers should expect email invitations in early September to register.
Subscribers should also watch for an email from RMLS™ with information about which Supra lockboxes are currently registered to you. Pay attention to this information: at these exchange events, only lockboxes registered to you will be allowed for a one-for-one exchange! (Download a Lockbox Transfer Form here.)
Our trainers and staff have been giving SentriLock demonstrations at offices around the region. If you haven’t been able to see it in person, view this SentriLock demonstration video online!
