Is your eKEY Up to Date?


Supra has recently shut down an older version of their eKEY server, which supported older versions of their eKEY app. Please take a minute to check to be sure you have version 5.3.3.xxx to ensure your eKEY app will continue to function properly.  

To check the eKEY app version you have, please follow these steps:


  1. Open the eKEY app
  2. Tap the MORE icon on the bottom right
  3. Tap ABOUT eKEY App
  4. The version number will be displayed at the top right of the screen.

 

If your version is below 5.3.3.408 for Android, or 5.3.3.490 for iPhone, please go to your App store to download the newest version.

Above Grade Square Footage


When calculating above grade square footage, only the finished area on levels that are 100% above grade (ground level) should be included. If an exposed or walk-out lower level has one exterior wall even partially below grade, all rooms on that level must be counted as below grade.  More detail can be found within this helpful guide.

Advertising Reminder


It is against MLS rules to advertise a property listed by another agent/broker without first obtaining permission from that agent/broker. The only exception to this rule is advertising done via an approved IDX site that has been registered with the MLS. IDX sites are only approved if they are controlled by the registered MLS agent/broker, and are clearly identified as being provided by the registered MLS agent/broker.


Sites such as Facebook do not qualify as approved IDX platforms. A generic link on Facebook directing viewers to listings on an approved IDX site is allowed. The link should contain no information about, or photos of specific listings. A generic statement such as “Click to see homes in Waunakee” would be allowed.
