Menu Migration Update + Tools for You

To keep you informed, we wanted to provide a timely update on the migration to the new customizable menu within Flexmls.

Nearly a month ago, the new customizable menu launched at the very first MLS. Today, all the members from that MLS have transitioned to the new menu. During the next few weeks the transition continues for many more Flexmls Users. We are encouraging them to proactively switch to the new menu with regular reminder-prompts at Flexmls log-in, empowering them to migrate when it's convenient for them during the transition period.
