I am petitioning/requesting that MLS consider making the "Lev Condo" field a "required field" in MLS. Naturally, the field that lays "Levels" can tell the agent/consumer how many levels the actual unit has (1 story condo, or multi-level town home or condo). However, determining what floor the condo is on (i.e. LL, 1st, 2nd, 3rd) feels like a constant cat and mouse game with listing agents and builders. I find that the "Lev Condo" field is left blank as much as 30%-40% of the time. I end up digging through marketing remarks or agent remarks to learn what floor a unit might be on, and when that doesn't work, I am pouring through the pictures looking for vaulted ceilings, or to see if I can find steps or detect tree lines or parking lots out of the windows on listing photos. For example: If you search ALL active condo listings in W12, 40% of the active listings have this field blank. I find this unfair and aggravating to agents who are seeking a condo unit on a particular floor. My suggestion would be that the "Lev Condo" field be converted to a "required field" with a drop down, and that agents have the option of selecting "LL/Garden Level, 1, 2, 3,.... 30." Going up to 30 would cover buildings like the Madison House, The Regency (Hyde Park), Edgecliff (Walnut Hills), Hammond North (College Hill) and all the downtown developments as well. Modify Terminology to be Unit Entry Lev? Mandate? See Examples 4b. Per our phone conversation would you please propose the following suggestion. Make the Subdivision entry as a drop down list to choose from, instead of typing in the name. This would prevent misspelled subdivision names, which prevent listings from showing in our saved searches. Our Remax system is set up that way. I've also polled lots of people across the US and many have the drop down feature. Thanks in advance! Map Search instead of neighborhood search? 4c. The final hurdle to remove for your members is to set up an RPR account for anyone that hasn't yet done so. Currently, 1,521 RPR accounts have been created by your members. We are able to create RPR accounts for all REALTOR® subscribers participating in the MLS. Account Creation enables the MLS subscriber to bypass the process of creating their initial RPR account. RPR will use your MLS roster, validating your subscribers with NAR's NRDS database. We will then create the RPR account automatically, enabling your subscribers to more easily access and begin taking advantage of the RPR site. Please let me know if you would like us to create accounts for your members and we can further discuss the details. Here's how the process works. The MLS sends out an email to everyone that has not created an RPR account or has not logged in for quite awhile (we can decide on that time frame). In the email you let them know that to assist them in using this power member benefit, an RPR account will be created for them. This email is sent about a week in advance of the account being created. You would send a follow up email the day before the account is created, just to remind them about it. RPR will then send them an email to let them know that an account has been created. The email will include a link that takes them to the RPR and prompts them to create a new password. We can provide you with sample content for both of the emails that you'll send. We can then do quarterly account creations for anyone that is new and has not created an account. The only "promotional" information that these new RPR users receive, is just updates regarding the release of new functionality and features to the RPR or if there should be some planned maintenance which could impact availability. Chances are that you're currently receiving these periodic emails from RPR. We currently do not take extra steps for other 3rd party vendors. Ideas from MLS Operation for MLS Users to Consider 4d. Implement a “Report Problem” button on the top bar of the Rapattoni screen that will go directly the online problem reporting screen.

Copyright ©2015 MLS of Greater Cincinnati, Inc. All rights reserved. MLS Enhancement Mandatory Reporting of Seller Concessions In July 2013, an MLS enhancement was implemented to provide the voluntary input of seller concessions at the time of closing. A YES or NO could be entered to indicate whether or not any seller paid concessions were included in the sale transaction. If a YES was entered, the user could further input (voluntarily) a % or dollar amount for the concession. Attached is a summary of the YES and NO activity on closed single family and condominium sales, by month, through the end of February 2015. In summary, of the 37,146 closed sales, 3,455 had a YES marked and 3,606 had a NO marked, for a total of 7,061 closed sales. This represents 19.0% of the total closed transactions. Also attached is the appraisal requirement to report and analyze seller concessions, along with a list of potential concessions. Since this input has been voluntary, it is not known how many other sales were closed that may have had seller paid concessions. The marking of YES with dollar amounts or percentages has certainly reduced the number of phone calls, emails, and text messages from appraisers to the listing agents. For those marked NO, appraisers have had to take the next step to contact the listing agents for details. When contacting listing agents to get seller concession information, some have responded with “We can’t provide this, it’s confidential.” We believe the confidentiality issue has been mitigated via state statute and recent changes to the CABR Contract to Purchase: Statute Changes. Agents in Ohio are now permitted to disclose seller concessions involved in a purchase transaction. The following is from an OAR website page with the heading: “New OAR backed Legislation Limits REALTOR Liability (OR: Sept 2011)”: Disclosure of Seller Concessions The terms of a purchase contract are considered to be confidential and therefore cannot be disclosed by licensees without their client’s consent. This includes disclosure of any concessions made by the seller to anyone, including appraisers. However, the fact that such seller concessions were made is often information that appraisers want to know in order to properly reflect the true price of comparable sales in the area. Because the Ohio Division of Real Estate believes this is legitimate information that appraisers need to comply with their obligation to analyze all facts and circumstances under USPAP, a “limited” exception has been added to the new license law. Under this new amendment, licensees are permitted (but not required) to disclose their seller concessions to appraisers for the limited purpose of conducting an appraisal without violating their duty of confidentiality to their client. Here is the actual language: Sec. 4735.74 Duties following closing of transaction. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, a licensee owes no further duty to a client after performance of all duties or after any contract has terminated or expired, except for both of the following: (B) Keeping confidential all information received during the course of the transaction unless: "(6) Disclosure is regarding sales information requested by a registered appraiser assistant or a licensed or certified appraiser for the purposes of performing an appraisal. No cause of action shall arise on behalf of any person against a licensee for releasing information pursuant to this division." Amended by 129th General Assembly File No. 28, HB 153, § 101.01, eff. 9/29/2011. CABR Contract to Purchase Changes. The Contract to Purchase was revised in November 2014 wit this added clause (lines 46-49): Settlement Charges: In addition to costs incurred in order for the Seller to fulfill the terms of the Contract and to provide marketable title, Seller agrees to pay actual settlement charges on behalf of the Buyer, including, but not limited to, discount points, closing costs, pre-paids, and any other fees allowed by Buyer’s lender in an amount not to exceed, ________________________. Summary We believe that number of closed sales with seller concessions is higher. The only way to obtain the highest accuracy in the reporting and analysis of, and determining the impact on, a property’s market value is to make the YES or NO input mandatory, along the with dollar amount or percentage. The mandatory entry process will eliminate nearly all of the time-consuming calls, emails and text messages between appraisers and listing agents, and more importantly, assist appraisers in developing more accurate market values. Benefits to agents More accurate listing of property’s purchase price (“real” vs. inflated price) Significantly fewer calls and emails from appraisers Benefit to appraisers Allows appraisers to more accurately measure the market’s reaction to seller concessions, and make more accurate adjustments where needed Fewer calls and emails to agents and less time waiting for call backs Addendum Seller Concession Reporting Activity July 2013 through February 2015 Single Family and Condominium Sales Month Year # Yes # No Total Y+N Total # Closed Sales July Aug Sept Oct Nov Dec Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun July Aug Sept Oct Nov Dec Jan Feb To Date 2013 2013 2013 2013 2013 2013 2014 2014 2014 2014 2014 2014 2014 2014 2014 2014 2014 2014 2015 2015 126 151 135 149 139 146 99 114 152 229 250 249 251 232 200 229 183 174 130 117 3455 143 133 98 140 166 147 97 146 153 224 216 295 295 236 226 229 177 192 144 149 3606 269 284 233 289 305 293 196 260 305 453 466 544 546 468 426 458 360 366 274 266 7061 2398 2463 1983 1928 1648 1608 1217 1317 1645 2038 2277 2485 2369 2136 1977 1998 1558 1618 1241 1242 37146 Search Criteria Used: Standard Property Types: Residential Property Subtype: Single Family & Condominium Statuses: Sold Additional Criteria: Seller Pd Clo Costs: YES (1st run), then NO (2nd run) % of Total 11.2 11.5 11.7 15.0 18.5 18.2 16.1 19.7 18.5 22.2 20.5 21.9 23.0 21.9 21.5 22.9 23.1 22.6 22.1 21.4 19.0 Addendum Appraisal Requirements The following is a stated requirement in Fannie Mae’s and Freddie Mac’s Universal Appraisal Reports for single family and multi-family properties: Adjustments to the comparables must be made for special or creative financing or sales concessions. No adjustments are necessary for those costs which are normally paid by sellers as a result of tradition or law in a market area; these costs are readily identifiable since the seller pays these costs in virtually all sales transactions. Special or creative financing adjustments can be made to the comparable property by comparisons to financing terms offered by third-party institutional lender that is not already involved in the property or transaction. Any adjustment should not be calculated on a mechanical dollar for dollar cost of the financing concession but the dollar amount of any adjustment should approximate the market’s reaction to the financing or concessions based on the appraiser's judgment.

Chard (SChard@cincymls.com) Betsey Kelly (bkelly@cincybuilders.com); Dan Dressman (ddressman@cincybuilders.com) article from Inman - More agents getting access to new-homes data through their MLS Hi Sharon, hope you had a great holiday season. Here is a recent article from Inman: Move's joint venture, BDX, providing live feeds to 16 MLSs More than 45,000 real estate professionals who are members of Mid-Atlantic multiple listing service Metropolitan Information Systems Inc. (MRIS) now have free access to a trove of new-home listings and specifics about developments under construction. Homebuilder marketing company Builders Digital Experience Inc. (BDX) is providing MRIS members with a branded “new home channel” that’s accessible through their MLS interface. The channel is a customized version of NewHomeSourceProfessional.com, which is designed specifically for agents and claims to have the largest collection of new homes available anywhere, including plans, builder promotions and community-level data. The data is compiled solely from “real estate agent-friendly” builders committed to paying agents participating in a transaction, the company said Tim Costello “Nationally, based on our research of consumers and real estate agents, 48 percent of agents prefer selling new construction homes and our relationship with MRIS allows them to bring an unprecedented level of new home information directly to their clients,” said BDX CEO Tim Costello in a statement. A joint venture between realtor.com operator Move Inc. and homebuilder consortium Builder Homesite Inc., BDX BDX also powers the “new homes and communities” section of realtor.com and operates new-home listing sites NewHomeSource.com and NewHomes.Move.com. BDX announced agreements with 16 MLSs in October 2013, with seven feeds up and running at that time. Having flipped the switch on MRIS, all 16 MLS integrations are now live: 1 • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • MRIS in Maryland; Washington, D.C.; Northern Virginia; and parts of West Virginia, Pennsylvania and Delaware.

It is very difficult for agents to find and research new homes. To access plans, promos and community info, they will typically search individual builder websites to get information because it is not available in the MLS. For example, your MLS may have 4 spec homes from a builder, but members may not see that the builder has 20 plans also available for buyers. 3 Resale home inventory fluctuates and can limit options for buyer’s agents – in the MLS they are only seeing a fraction of the real inventory available to be built. 4 18% 37% of home shoppers prefer new homes of home shoppers will consider new homes … yet only 9% of total homes sold are new. The number of new homes sold could be higher, but agents are often not showing them due to lack of information and comfort. 5 Agents are often anxious about showing clients new homes because they feel under-informed about the process of buying new homes and working with builders. 6 The New Home Source Professional platform is the largest and most accurate collection of new home data available anywhere. 7 • BDX has a majority of the communities in the U.S.: 1,000 new home builders, 9,000 new home communities and 90,000 new homes • BDX works directly with the builders and data is updated each night via XML feeds. (The BDX data feed schema has become industry standard.) • New Home Source Professional is a product of Builders Digital Experience (BDX), a joint venture between Move, Inc. and the nation’s largest homebuilders. Chosen by National Association of REALTORS® as its preferred new home data provider 67 HBA partners 8 A partnership between your MLS and BDX will create more new home selling opportunities for members and provide your MLS with real benefits. 9 Your members: • • • • • • 10 Members can research new homes through the most comprehensive searchable database of new home communities, specs, plans, promotions, events and more. This supplements the MLS. Members can easily send detailed builder, community and home information directly to their buyers through our comprehensive technology platform. Members get articles, checklists and videos to educate them on how to work with buyers and builders to better show and sell new homes. Members generate more commission because they expose their clients to all new home inventory from builders in the market, not just what is on the MLS. Members capitalize on growth in new homes – new inventory is expected to grow 26% this year and new home prices exceed resale prices by an average of 46%. Members who represent builders sell new homes more effectively by having educated and informed buyer’s agents. We are more than just a website. Our multi-pronged approach to agents: • Make it easier for agents to do their job effectively by providing access to all new home inventory and providing tools that meet their client needs • Connect agents and builders and drive better relationships between them • Teach agents about selling new homes through education and tools. (BDX is working with the National Association of REALTORS® on the development and promotion of a certification course to teach agents how to work with new home buyers and builders.) • Reward agents for showing new homes with special incentives and benefits 11 Your MLS: • You give your members access to new home data that is not in the MLS. • You get recognition as the single largest source of new home information in the market and solidify your position as the leading resource for agents (with more inventory than buyers or agents can typically find online at Zillow and other aggregator sites). • You help your members generate more revenue without having to increase fees. • You get data, simple integration, software updates, new home training & support for your agents, at no cost. And you get full control of the data. 12 MLSs nationwide have partnered with BDX to provide better new home data to their members. 13 14 Example: • TAR/MLS (Tucson, AZ) 15 BDX’s mission is to develop agents into expert new home marketers so they sell more new homes. 16 MLS Users Additional Agenda Items 3-9-15 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Increase the number of allowable exports from 200 to 500. Add Status option to the Quick Search (not feasible at this time – per Rapattoni) He ability to select up to 2 Architecture selections when searching. Make Seller Concessions a mandatory field when changing the status to Closed. Create an “Include 0 sqft” checkbox next to SqFt field to catch properties that have no square footage listed. 1. The more data you can put in a regression analysis, generally the more accurate the analysis. When you try to use regression to analyze differences in property you need several examples of each of those differences you are regressing for. The more examples you have the more accurate the analysis. The beauty of regression analysis is the use of older sales. Regression can account for changes in market conditions allowing appraisers to use more similar properties even if they were over a year ago. Fannie Mae, and their lenders who sell to them, are beginning to loosen the requirements around the use of older sales. An appraiser can use an older sale, and if supported through regression analysis, make a valid market change adjustment. Many times this will support more recent contract prices. It is a real win for the agent community. I understand the reservation about data harvesting. Limiting the number to 200 is a reasonable requirement. Many times I will simply run 2 different exports and append the data. This is somewhat time-consuming and mistakes are easy. If you do not check the correct set of records the 2nd time around, sometimes you can miss records or create duplicate entries. Bob at the MLS office can explain the process of multiple downloads and demonstrated for you. That being said, if we could increase the import limit to 500 records it would be more than sufficient 95% of the time. This would still be a throttle on potential data harvesting. I also envision this regression analysis used by real estate agents for their CMA's. I would be glad to provide some training at the agent level on how to do this. 2. On the quick search listing locator on the main page after signed in, could an active status checkbox be added? That way you could click from that main page that you want to search ACTIVE listings on Main St and get say 30 results instead of 30,000 from ALL listings ever listed on Main St. Would really serve the purpose of the quick search. a. Per Rapattoni, this is not an option right now. The module is a standard module not intended for modification. 3. For categorizing a house by architecture, I propose that up to two types can be checked. For example, you can have a contemporary ranch, or a contemporary tri-level. These classifications are not mutually exclusive, leading to confusion if someone is searching for a contemporary home, but the agent classified it as a ranch (which it technically is). Also, some of the categories (like Saltbox) could more appropriately be classified as Traditional or Historic. In my opinion, this whole category could use cleaning up/fine tuning. Happy to help come up with a more eloquent proposal for the group if that would help. 4. It would be a great help if the search criteria for Building Sq Ft (Realist) (on page 1) could be modified to include a checkbox for: Include 0 Sq Ft Since Realist is not providing a consistent data feed for building square feet, this would help us see if there are properties that appear with 0 sq. ft. that may be within the GLA range (after we look it up in auditor's records) using our other search criteria (distance, age, sale price, etc.). Right now, the search has to be run twice to catch the 0 sq. ft. properties.
