MLS UPDATE First thing Monday morning, we instructed over eighty vendors to begin pulling their RETS/IDX feeds from Matrix as soon as possible. We reached out again on Tuesday for a status update, but most vendors are not prepared to provide that information. If you have not already done so, please begin the process of making sure ALL your data is in Matrix. At this time, the deadline to have this completed is July 9. The Board of Directors is meeting on Friday and, if that date is extended, we will let you know. Staff has been researching discrepancies and there is a lot of work to be done.

Live, hands-on MLS training is offered every Wednesday at the NABOR Event Center from 1:00 to 4:00 p.m. Bring your laptop and your questions!
