At the SRCAR Annual Meeting on July 29th, 2008, the three new Directors were announced. We’d like to thank all of our candidates for volunteering their time and willingness to be part of the SRCAR Directors. And we’d like to congratulate Joe McGowan, Walter Wilson, and Marjo Wood for winning the election.

TAKE ACTION NOW! Oppose A Multi-Billion Dollar Paid Sick Leave Mandate

AB 2716 is a proposed new law that would unreasonably expand employer’s and local government agencies’ costs and liability by mandating paid sick leave for all employees, including, interns, seasonal, part-time, temporary, and full-time employees.

All employers in California would be mandated to provide paid sick leave to an employee after only seven days of work in a calendar year. The proposed new law impacts all employers, large and small, regardless of the current level of sick leave already provided.

This proposal, estimated to cost employers billions of dollars in increased costs, places a massive burden on our local businesses at a time when our economy is underperforming and job cuts are continual.

Q.  How many active Auto Emails can I have?
A.  At any one time, you can have up to 250 Saved Searches that are activated to send Auto Emails to clients.

Q.  The status of my Auto Email says “Waiting Activation.” What does this mean?
A.  When you see an auto email status of “Waiting Activation,” MRMLS Matrix has sent an initial email to your clients inviting them to view your listings. The Waiting Activation status will continue until a client “Ops In” by clicking the link to view listings.

Q.  How do I re-activate an Auto Email that has been disabled by Matrix?
A.  If you see one of your Auto Emails has been disabled, you can re-enable it by clicking the My Matrix tab, Saved/Automatic Searches, Settings.

Press the Re-Enable Auto Email button.

Note: Do not re-enable clients who have willingly chosen to “Opt Out.” Sending emails to these clients could get you and MRMLS labeled as a “spammer” and could get the MLS system black listed.

Set a schedule for your client to receive listings. Then click Save.

Several Association of REALTORS® (Associations) and their Multiple Listing Services (MLSs) have received requests from sales and mortgage brokers and listing agents to delete (“zap”) a listing entirely from the MLS as if it were never inputted or to change the true listing date or listing expiration date of a listing. We have counseled our Association clients not to engage in such activities.  In this Special Report we explain the reasons why. Continue reading ‘CHANGING OR DELETING LISTING DATA’ »

Why not use Auto Email and let MRMLS Matrix do the prospecting for you? Auto Email automatically alerts clients when listings match the criteria that you specify.

Before you start, go to My Matrix and add your contact(s). In our example, a client wants a Single Family Residence in Arcadia for less than $800,000 with at least 2 bedrooms and one bath.

1.  Select appropriate criteria on the Quick Search page and press Search.

2.  Press the Save button  at the bottom of the results page.

3.  Enter a Search Name.

4.  Select a contact from your Contacts List to receive your email.

5.  Press the Enable Auto Email button.

6.  Enter a Subject for your emails.

7.  Choose to display the Public 1 Line, Customer Flyer, or Customer Full.

8.  Type an optional message.

9.  Choose from Daily, AM or PM, ASAP (As Soon As Possible), or Monthly as the schedule for the listings to be sent to your client. Then press Save.

Congratulations! Your client is now set up to receive an email when matching properties are listed.

Mark your calendars – SRCAR will be closed all day Friday, August 1st, 2008 for a staff day. Please plan accordingly.  Thank you.

The following outage has been canceled for this weekend.

On Friday, July 11th starting at 7:30pm PST through Saturday July 12th at 3:30am PST, Supra will be conducting routine maintenance at their data center. During this time SupraNET, AgentWebPay and IVR will not be available. Keyholders will be able to eSYNC, get voice updates and log into KimWeb during this time.

Thank you,

SRCAR
