RMLS™ released two projects on RMLSweb earlier this week that have been regularly requested by subscribers in recent years. The new Share button makes sharing a listing to social media a snap, and Watch List offers instant notification when key changes happen to a parcel of land or listing!
SHARE BUTTON
REALTORS® adding a listing on RMLSweb want to be able to market right away and the Share button offers a new, more convenient way to do so.
In Listing Load, switch to the Detail View tab. Clicking the Share button that appears above the report window will open a new browser tab with a mobile-friendly report featuring the first photo from the listing. The top of this report will feature buttons to easily share the listing on Facebook or Twitter.
WATCH LIST
REALTORS® hoping to keep their eye on a particular listing or parcel of land should find the new Watch List on RMLSweb to be a helpful tool for their business.
When viewing any listing on RMLSweb, click the button above the listing that says “Add to Watch List.” Properties already on the user’s watch list will have an orange button that says “Watching.”
Any parcel of land can be added to Watch List—even a property not on the market. Properties may be added to Watch List by using their tax record. REALTORS® approached by clients interested in purchasing a specific property may be notified when that property comes on the market.
Viewing all properties that have been added to Watch List is a snap—just select Watch List under the RMLSweb Prospecting tab. Up to 50 properties may be on a user’s list at any time.
This view of Watch List is also where RMLSweb subscribers may choose how they’re notified about listing status changes and the like. RMLS™ is able to notify agents via email or text message, either 24 hours a day or between the hours of 7am-10pm. Subscribers wishing to receive a text message should navigate to User Preferences and enter a text phone number which will ONLY be used for sending texts involving Watch List, if desired.
RMLS™ is excited about these two additions to RMLSweb, which were the direct result of subscriber requests. RMLS™ subscribers can always contact the RMLS™ Help Desk at (503) 872-8002 or (877) 256-2169 with questions or suggestions for future improvements.

Did you know that 2016 marks the 25th anniversary of RMLS™?
RMLS™ staff members have been visiting association meetings this year to deliver thank yous and anniversary-themed goodies, as our partners around the region have been absolutely vital to the success of RMLS™ since 1991.
Attendees of both the RMLS™ Spring Education Summit and Trade Fair in Portland and the RMLS™ Fall Trade Fair in Pendleton enjoyed an anniversary-themed event, complete with balloons and cupcakes. RMLS™ would not be the member-driven multiple listing service it is today without the passion and involvement of our subscribers!
Perhaps you enjoyed our anniversary-related blog posts or noticed the anniversary logo this year on RMLSweb or elsewhere online.
Now it’s time to close out the year with a bang!
First, we’re pleased to present a video about RMLS™…
Help RMLS™ celebrate by showing the video in your office meeting—perhaps your principal broker can remember the days of listing books or the STELLAR system. You may even share the video with clients to explain the role RMLS™ plays in their property transaction! A shorter (1:19) version of the video is available here.
EVERYONE WINS WITH RMLS™
RMLS™ will close out this silver anniversary with a month of giveaways. We’ll be giving away 25 prizes in December, one for each year RMLS™ has been serving REALTORS® in the Pacific northwest.
