In March, the MLSListings Board of Directors adopted new NAR / C.A.R. mandatory MLS rule changes which affect brokers and agents.

We are excited to announce that effective April 16, 2019, all 49 PRDS® forms for residential sales transactions are available on zipForm for REALTOR members of the San Mateo County Association of REALTORS (SAMCAR) and Silicon Valley Association of REALTORS (SILVAR) in their zipFormPlus account. The forms also remain available on the Instanet/Lone Wolf platform at www.prdsforms.com and the SAMCAR and SILVAR Web sites.

In response to subscriber feedback, MLSListings changed the timeouts (i.e., the period of time in a session after which a user is automatically logged out) on their system from 60 minutes to 8 hours for Pro and Matrix and 2 hours for Paragon.

Just in time for tax season, MLSListings launched a new Payment History feature which makes it quick and easy for active members to access and create reports on their payment history for any year. MLSListings has shared instructions for how to access your MLS payment history at pro.mlslistings.com. (You can also access your SAMCAR payment history when you log in to the SAMCAR website, under "My Account" select "Payment History.")

In its 2018 Winter Real Estate Bulletin, the California Department of Real Estate (DRE) discusses the risks of "Coming Soon" marketing in an article titled "Be Sure to Maintain Fiduciary Responsibility for Your Client or Face Civil and Regulatory Liability," which includes the DRE's view of "best practices" for listing agents.
