Streamlined CMA, Client Portal Creation

Arriving in REsearch today, three small changes that add up to be big time savers.

CMAs and MLS Summary Format

When you begin to create a Comparative Market Analysis with the REsearch CMA feature, the “Summary” format will now be automatically selected.

This will add summary reports to the CMA that will compile and calculate the data in each individual section, such as “Comparable Listings for Sale” or “Comparable Listings with Contingent Sales,” for you.

We’ve found most CMAs include these sections, so we’re saving you a step by selecting “Summary” in advance. If you’d rather not include these sections, you can uncheck “Summary” under “Format.”

Create a Client Portal with a Prospect

When setting up a new Prospect search for a Contact, you can now save the search and add it to the Client Portal for that Contact at the same time. By clicking “Save Search and Send to Client Portal,” you can automatically achieve in one click what used to take several steps!

Contact Us with Just a Click

We love to hear from you! While you can still access a “Contact HIS” button as part of the menu that appears when you click your REsearch profile, we’ve added an envelope icon in the top right corner of REsearch where you can get in touch even more quickly!

Clicking this envelope icon will instantly display a list of our most commonly used email addresses, making it incredibly easy to reach our various departments.

And by clicking on one of the addresses in this list, you’ll be presented with a form to compose and send a message, all within REsearch!

Mahalo!

The real estate market continues to move forward, as does our work to support you in your business. Stay tuned for more enhancements and improvements coming to REsearch!
