IRES Broker Forum regarding MLS Data Sharing Efforts
On Nov 6th, 2009 IRES held a broker forum called "MLS of Choice: Are we there yet?" The intent was to review where we've been, where we are now, and where we need to go with the IRES and Denver MLS data sharing. We used an audience response system so we could ask questions and give everyone an opportunity to respond. The responses were interesting and can be viewed here. We are curious to know your thoughts as well.

Cutting costs in this very tough market
I was helping an agent on the phone the other day and we started chatting about the market. In a calm, cool voice he told me, “I’m losing everything.” His manner took me aback so I asked him what he meant. He explained that over the last couple years his business has collapsed and he’s filing bankruptcy. He’s losing his business, his house, everything…
That conversation has stirred up a real sense of urgency to make sure our subscribers understand all the ways they can cut costs by using the free tools available on IRESis. Our goal has always been to provide all the software an agent needs to do business, so you don’t have to buy outside products. We have some holes to fill in, but take a look at the list below to make sure you’re taking advantage of what’s already included in your MLS fees:
*Showings System – Track your showings and let the system send Feedback via email (plus follow up till it’s received).
*Contracts System – Has all Commission forms and is integrated with the MLS. We did go with an outside provider for electronic signatures but the cost can be as low as $12.95 per month. Feedback indicates it’s worth it to spend the $12 rather than running around town or faxing for signatures.
*ListHub – Get tons of free internet exposure for your listings by signing up with ListHub – they will send your listings to sites such as Yahoo Real Estate, AOL, Truila, etc. Managing Brokers must sign up for this.
*Open Houses – Save some marketing dollars by entering your Open Houses on IRESis. They will be seen by agents on IRESis and we also send them to ColoProperty.com, which receives millions of consumer hits every month. (Enter them in Add/Edit Listing.)
*Realist Value Map – Increase the “stickiness” of your web site by adding a free valuation tool for consumers - they can enter an address and find the value of their home. Any leads go to YOU. (Available in Public Records.)
*Foreclosure Data – You don’t need to pay anyone for Foreclosure data – everything you need is available in Public Records, which is available to you all day at no extra charge. (See the Foreclosure video on the Training screen.)
*Prospect Searches – Save time (ie: money) by having the system – not YOU – run searches every day and send new listings to your clients. Also, set up a “MySite” for your client where they can see boat loads of info - all the photos, tours, uploaded documents, neighborhood information, map location, Walkscore and Open Houses without ANY intervention on your part.
As a last note, IRES will NOT be increasing our fees in 2009. If you want more details about any of the above, leave us a comment/write a note or give us a call at 800-596-4901. We want to help!

IRES RECEIVES DISTINGUISHED SERVICE AWARD
At the 2008 Colorado Association of Realtors convention in Colorado Springs, IRES was honored to receive the “2008 Distinguished Service Award” from CAR President Greg Zadel for our data sharing efforts with the Denver area MLS.
One of Mr Zadel’s Strategic Initiatives for 2008 was to “Encourage the development of data sharing (MLS) across the state of Colorado”. Although data sharing has occured since 2003, in February 2008, IRES received the first comprehensive data feed from the Denver area MLS. Since that time, IRES has performed an in-depth review to match fields and currently displays nearly 100% of all Residential fields received.
IRES has also modified our MLS interface so brokers are aware of search options for Denver area listings. In addition, shared listings have been integrated into the online Contracts system, Prospect searches, Hotsheets, Quick Search, and Public Records system on IRESis.com. IRES efforts will not stop there, however. Continued data mapping for Attached Dwellings/Condos, Vacant Lots and Income properties is on the horizon.
IRES is grateful and proud to receive this prestigious award. We extend our thanks to Greg Zadel for the recognition.
