AH HA Moments
By: Jessica Ruminski, Training Department Manager
During MRED training classes we often see what we call “ah ha” moments when the students faces light up and they say “I didn’t know connectMLS™ could do that.” We love these moments and often they happen over the simplest things. So here are a couple “ah ha” moments that we see frequently.
– Did you know in connectMLS™ you can open a second connectMLS™ page? Just click on “New Workspace” in the upper right hand corner of your connectMLS™ screen. You can continue working on your main connectMLS™ page while using the second to search for information, such as tax data!
– Do you wish your search results displayed more than just 20 results on a page? No problem! Just click on the setup tab in connectMLS, then select search and report defaults. Click on the drop-down arrow under the section titled “Number of properties displayed on a single page in 1-line summaries.” You can select to have up to 40 properties display on your results page. Be sure to click on save when you’re done so that your selection will be saved for the next search you do.

MRED Training Tips from the Trenches
By: Jessica Ruminski, Training Department Manager
Often MRED will ask our trainers, who are also REALTORS® , to give tips and suggestions that they think all REALTORS® should know. Here are a few great tips from MRED trainer Carrie Bey:
- New Agents should take all the classes MRED offers. They are FREE!
- Take advantage of MRED training during your slow months.
- Add 60 minutes of training to your work week. Sign up for an online class, watch a video or take a class.
- Update your Setup tab in connectMLS™ every quarter. MRED makes changes often so you want to make sure you are taking advantage of all the features.
- Setup a buyer account for yourself in connectMLS™. By doing this you are able to understand what your buyer sees in their version of the MLS.
Did you know MRED has a social media tool and a lead capture form? You don’t need to be a social media expert to take advantage of MRED’s social media tool called the Share My Listings widget. Sign up for a MRED computer lab day or watch MRED’s video to learn more.
