Pinergy’s Hot Sheets Get a Cool New Look and More Features

We have some exciting changes in the works for Pinergy’s Hot Sheets. Hot Sheets will be moved from Market Reports into a dedicated module which will be available from the Tools page. Not only will it be “responsive” to work well with your mobile devices, but Hot Sheets also will feature the ability to send automatic hot sheet alerts via text and/or email! You’ll be able clone hot sheets, track “last run” dates, and sort your hot sheets as well. Watch Pinergy’s News & Notes on the Home page for updates regarding this much-anticipated release.
Pinergy’s “Public Records” Will Get the “Responsive” Treatment Early in 2023

Pinergy’s Public Records will be getting a “responsive” facelift in Q1 2023, so its search, search results, and property detail reports will look and work great on all your devices.

One-Tap Location Searches in Pinergy? Here’s How!

Looking for a quick way to find nearby listings when you’re out and about? Pinergy has you covered! Set it up once, and then just one tap will find and display them—wherever you are! Start by using Pinergy’s Search to search for the properties you’d want to find. For example, you might search for all on-market single-family and condo listings. Be sure to select “My Location” in the Address section and specify a search radius (e.g., 1.5 miles). Save your search using a meaningful name (e.g., “SF & CC Nearby”). Next, navigate to Pinergy’s Home page. Select the blue Add/Remove Items button in the Saved Searches widget. Select your search. Select the green Save button. Done! Remember, though, that you can rearrange widgets (using your desktop/laptop/tablet), so you could, for example, move the Saved Searches widget to be directly below the News & Notes section. That way, the widget will appear as soon as you sign in to Pinergy using your mobile device—and then one tap on the name of your saved search will show you the results!
Are You Using These Quick Additional Information Sources in Listing Details?

From Pinergy’s listing details, view the property using Remine, RPR®, or realtor.com® Professional Search—without having to search for it again—by simply selecting the appropriate icon. (You must be a REALTOR® to use RPR®.) These icons are located at the top of the page in most listing detail reports on desktop or in the Additional Resources section on smartphone (or in desktop’s Data View), and they give quick and convenient access to many additional tools and reports outside of Pinergy. There’s even an option for community demographics and market statistics based on the property’s zip code. So select the applicable icon, and get more property information lickety-split!
From 1 Year to 70 Years, Pinergy’s Mortgage Calculator Has You Covered

Pinergy’s Mortgage Calculator accommodates the use of a “custom” loan term, so you can determine payment estimates and perform other calculations for mortgages ranging from 1 to 70 years. Simply select “Custom” from the Loan Term dropdown menu, type the number of years for the mortgage, and continue with your report setup!

A Few Words Regarding “Days on Market” in Pinergy

If the seller asks you to take its listing temporarily off the market over the winter, you should remember a couple of things. First, you are required to obtain the appropriate, signed authorization from the seller: either to temporarily withdraw the listing if the seller requests the Temporarily Withdrawn (WDN) status, or to terminate the listing agreement if the seller requests the Canceled (CAN) status. Second, if and when the seller decides to put the property back on the market, the Days on Market (DOM) counter will resume where it left off when you took the listing off the market. The only time the DOM counter will reset is if the original listing is first Expired or Canceled, subject to the expiration or termination of the listing agreement, and a new listing is input, subject to a new listing agreement, at least 61 days after the original listing went off the market, without the property’s having come back on the market for any amount of time in the interim.
