We want your feedback!
After 3 years of extensive research, the MLS Technology Committee has determined that our current MLS system is not the best possible system available. For detailed information on the selection process, go to: Selection Process. As the final phase of our due diligence, the MLS Board wants YOU to experience this system first hand! flexmls® representatives will be at the Association office on October 23rd, 24th, and 26th. Please go to:flexmls flyer for more details and registration information.
Search San Carlos MLS!
San Carlos has turned on access for our members to their listing data. Go to
http://tucson.interfacexpress.com Your Tucson MLS username and password work for San Carlos.
Remember, access to this information is not intended to imply that you may sell real estate in Mexico; you must be licensed in the State of Sonora in order to practice real estate there. This is information may be helpful to you in servicing your clients, and may foster the development of referral networks.
Be Aware When Visiting Listings!
MLS has learned that two more agents have been approached by
Sheriff's deputies with guns drawn. It appears that
due to the rise in vandalism and theft to vacant
properties, law enforcement officers and area
residents are very sensitive to any activity at
vacant homes. Try to visit listings during daylight
hours, notify neighbors when possible, and be
prepared to clearly identify yourself if needed.
Follow any instructions given and advise your
clients to do the same.
Re-List Fee Increase
The Withdrawn/Released Listings
will now be billed at $30 each, effective September
1, 2009. This is an increase from the current
price of $15 each.
Access To Arizona Foreclosure
Information!
MLS has entered into an agreement with RealtyTrac that will allow Tucson MLS members to access foreclosure information for the state of Arizona for a discounted rate of only $19.95 per month. There is no minimum term required to sign up. The links to register for this service are located in the MLS under the ‘links’ tab, and there is also a button on the tucsonrealtors.org website.
