Here is a guide to issues that have been recently resolved and are currently in progress:
-
- RESOLVED: We’re correcting “CRMLS Fill Agent” appearing on the List Agent ID or Buyer Agent ID on listings reports/displays. We resolved incoming listings were resolved in December 2020; older historical listings in SD County were resolved in early March. While we anticipate no further impact from this issue, we are still in progress with the final cleanup of older and invalid listings.
- IN FINAL STAGES OF TESTING – For comps with pictures, some pictures are not appearing clearly. Distortion has been reported. As a temporary workaround, we recommend you print to HTML format as a workaround. UPDATE: Once testing is complete, we will schedule a release date.
- IN PROGRESS – We’re working to ensure Coming Soon to Active shows as New (with vendor)
- IN PROGRESS – Addition of a a Change Type for Coming Soon so that it can have its own category on Hotsheets and MarketWatch (with vendor)
- IN PROGRESS – Cleanup of City List (being finalized)
