I’ll have a positive column about FlexMLS in West Valley sections of the Republic later this week, but I’m sure you all know that not everything is sweetness and light in the MLS world of Phoenix just now.
Here are three issues we’ve run into, so far. I encourage you to document anything you’ve found, as [...]

Okay, so I’m curious about the third-party IDX companies everyone is using.  I’d like to know who you use, who you’ve used?  What you like and don’t like about them.  I’d also be curious about those that you would like to use, but are not currently partnered with ARMLS.

Custom Reports and Gateway

I learned something at last week’s ARMLS Committee meeting that is slowing sinking into my consciousness. 
This I knew: Custom reports will not be ported over,  and will need to be re-created.
This was the “oh-no”:  FlexMLS does not have a Gateway equivalent web portal.
The good news: ARMLS has opened the third party vendor door, and I’m expecting [...]

Further Leveraging IDX Feeds

Category: Wish List

As part of membership in the Arizona Regional MLS, each agent has access to an IDX feed for their website. It’s a basic search, based (painfully) in a frames format that can be dropped onto a page. The theory is someone can search for homes and if they like what they see from the rudimentary [...]

Wish List: Replicating the territory

I know we’ve been promised improvement in our ability to search by map. I hope this includes the ability to copy a territory that we’ve already mapped out into a new search. Quite often my buyer clients discover me because they are looking for homes in a particular vicinity of Distinctive Phoenix: certain historic areas [...]

Wish list: Make Net Sheet savable…

This is more blue sky stuff, and I may be talking about a feature that’s already baked in the cake.
But: I was just there, and I want for Seller’s Net Sheets to be Savable.
Normally I have Cathleen do them in Excel, because it does a much better job. She’s sick, and I’m re-entering the whole [...]

Wish List: Give the geeks an API

Category: Wish List

Nota bene: In generating wish list items, I am not implying that they’re not already implemented in flexmls, nor am I being a crybaby. I don’t know the flexmls feature set at all, so it could be that I’m asking for things that are already in place, or are implemented in a functionally-equivalent manner. And, [...]

Wish List: Tickle me, MLS, would make a sweet gift

This post is purely a wish list item, something that I think could be cool to have. I won’t die without it. (Witness me already without it, already not dying.) But it would a sweet little boon, I think.
Back story: A couple of days ago, I had a call from a sweet lady who would [...]
