Today, we just wanted to take a step back and say thanks for watching our videos and interacting with our company. We also want to say thanks to the REALTORS® out there, who have a very difficult job, for everything they do. We had another record year here at DEEB Realty, and we couldn't have done it without an amazing support system.
We hope you have a safe and happy holiday season. Hopefully you can take some time off from your busy schedules to spend time with your family. The time you spend away from work and with the ones you love is really the most important part of life. We tend to get caught up in our work, so it's nice to have this time of year to slow down and think about the things that really matter to us. Take the time to appreciate the good things in life, and the rest will fall into place.
We thought we would share this little reminder with you this holiday season. Again, thanks for the continued support and have a lovely holiday season!

There are several changes on our local MLS that happened November 19 we think you should know about. First, the long-anticipated wait for the standardized new purchase agreement is over. On November 19th, it became available to all members. We hope that this purchase agreement will make your jobs more efficient and will make the process easier for everyone involved. We encourage agents and brokers to take advantage of this great tool.
Secondly, the new policy for off-market listings debuted on November 19. A new status, "active, no showing", will allow you to have information on the property if it's a "coming soon" or "off market" property. Realtors will be able to tell their clients about such properties, but they won't be syndicated through IDX and other external websites.
If you do take an off-market listing, you have to fill out an additional addendum to your listing agreement explaining the benefits of the MLS and have your client sign it. Make sure you talk to your managers at your offices about this policy, as there may be fines for not following procedures. There have also been several MLS input changes that were recommended to us and went into effect November 19 as well.
Looking a few years down the road, the Board of Directors from the NAR Conference voted to move Quadrennial Ethics training to every two years. Additionally, they adopted a policy called the Code of Excellence, which has to do with more training for agents, so be aware that you may have to do more training in the upcoming years.
If you have any questions about these policy changes, don't hesitate to give us a call or shoot us an email. We know them well and would love to help you better understand them. Thanks, and we hope to hear from you soon!
