Thank you for attending Thrive Broker Summit!

Missed our Keynote Speaker?
Join us on Thursday, October 10 at 11:30am PST for a special encore presentation of our keynote session, Unlocking the True Value of a Realtor: Shaping the Future of the Industry and Consumer Impressions with James Dwiggins. In it, James will dive into how the industry is evolving with NAR Settlement, providing metrics from consumers and best practices to benefit the growth of your brokerage, as well as also introduce and demo Rayse. 

With Rayse, Your Agents’ Value is on Full Display 

Your agents put in the effort to ensure clients get the home of their dreams, but the amount of work they do can sometimes be a mystery, even to the people they’re representing. As we enter an era in which it’s more important than ever to prove that an agent is vital to any real estate transaction, it’s time to show off exactly what they do and how they help. Make sure your clients know exactly how much value your agents are adding to the process with Rayse.

Rayse is a new platform for brokers that helps promote transparency and collaboration between agent and client. By itemizing the home buying journey, Rayse can help instill trust and confidence that an agent is doing all that they can to ensure client satisfaction. When agents can display their strategy and efforts, clients get a clearer understanding of the intricacies of the home buying process. It all adds up to an honest, effortless partnership that will help boost your reputation and secure more leads.

CRMLS Dates for Top Violations Pro Standards Committee’s Disciplinary Requirements are Still Available

As the end of 2024 quickly approaches, it is not too late to attend a Top Violation Overview webinar either to fulfill disciplinary requirements assigned by a Professional Standards Committee or to simply gain a greater knowledge of the most common violations along with tips on avoiding them and their associated fines. 

These webinars are open to all CRMLS members and are an excellent resource for newer agents and a great refresher for seasoned agents and brokers alike. Register today!

Note: The monthly sessions are for the sole purpose of fulfilling disciplinary requirements set by the Pro Standards Committees.   

Question of the Month

“My Coming Soon listing has reached the 21-day maximum and my seller needs more time to make improvements to the property. The listing is not ready to be made Active. What is my best option?” 

  1. Tell your seller you do not have any choice; you must make the listing Active. You have already used the maximum 21 days under the Coming Soon status. 
  2. Cancel the listing. When the seller is ready to make the property Active, enter a completely new listing using a new listing agreement. 
  3. Place the listing in Hold status. First obtain the seller’s written authorization to place the listing in Hold, and then continue in Hold status until the seller is ready to go to Active. 
  4. Place the listing in Withdrawn status. 

Answer: C

The Hold status is the best option in this case. Cancelling the listing would be wrong because your seller has not indicated that they wish to terminate their agreement with you. Withdrawn is also not a good choice, because Withdrawn indicates that the property is essentially off the market. For more information on the correct use of MLS Statuses, read here.
