The agreement will initially make about 100,000 new home listings available to agents through RPR. "We are pleased that we have worked out an agreement with RPR®, a system that is both technically advanced and highly regarded in the country as the 'go-to' resource for licensed agents," said Gaul. "I was immediately impressed after receiving a presentation about RPR® capabilities and functionality, however, a depth of new home construction data was missing." Bob Seeman, VP of Business Development for Builders Update, added, "Agents want to sell homes, brokers want to make money, and once agents realize how easy it is to use this data provided to RPR in their presentations, they will increase their earnings potential.

Builders typically spend a great deal of money and time trying to woo consumers directly, but in fact, according to NAR, 64% of new home construction is sold with the help of a REALTOR®. "The reality," said Gaul, "is that reaching agents using a tool like this is far more cost-effective for a builder because the agents are ready with a pre-qualified client.

See What’s New: February 2016 RPR Enhancements
  2016 is off to a great start for RPR users. In January alone, RPR squashed 37 of the 55 highest priority bugs we were tracking, and all thanks to input we received from our valued REALTORS®. During this time, we also managed to introduce some other useful improvements. Let’s take a closer look… WEBSITE ENHANCEMENTS Keyword Search Now when searching or filtering search results within RPR, use the keywords field to enter up to six words or phrases. This field searches through the description field associated with each property.   As an example: Let’s say Agent A enters a listing into her MLS with this description, “Beautiful new kitchen with granite countertops” in the property description. Then, using RPR, Agent B searches using the keyword “granite.” The property entered by Agent A would appear. Give this helpful new tool a try by searching for filters such as “ranch,” “waterfront” or “corner lot.” Neighborhood Search Boundaries RPR mapping now includes Macro, Intermediate, Minor and Micro neighborhood boundaries for areas that range in radius from miles down to a less than a quarter mile. The zoom level of your map will determine which boundaries show up in the drop down. Zoom in to view smaller layers such as Minor and Micro.  Just like other neighborhood search functionality, all options may not be available in all areas. Neighborhood Reports may not always be available for the layer chosen and will default to a Census Block Group as the smallest data set available.    MOBILE ENHANCEMENTS Additional Datasets RPR’s mobile app now offers Legal Descriptions, Plat Maps and Room Dimensions.    Photos – Pinch and Zoom Get a better look at property details with new pinch-and-zoom capability on the RPR app.    Stay tuned, here is a sneak peek at what’s to come: Integration with zipForm Keyword search for Mobile Google Street View in Commercial New property investment analysis tool Full annual refresh of demographic and retail data To view the original post, visit the RPR blog.

What's New in RPR version 1.25?
Version 1.25 of the Realtors Property Resource® website focuses on enhancements to multiple areas of the application. A summary of the most prominent enhancements is below. If you would like more help finding or using anything in RPR, please visit http://blog.narrpr.com/training/. International REALTOR® members can now create accounts in RPR. Sale Pending flags now appear as a darker blue than the Active Listing flags on maps and in reports. And Sale Pending flags for distressed properties are now maroon, distinguishing them from the red Distressed flags. Notifications you receive when generating your reports have been enhanced, providing more information about the status and numbers of reports you have requested. (More enhancements are coming in the next release too.) There is no longer a cap on the number of comps a user can display in the Seller's Report. The Homeowner Facts detail section can be turned off, preventing information about a property owner from appearing in reports. User-entered changes to facts about a commercial property now display in the Commercial Property Report. Additional details have been added to the Interior Details section of the Property Details page where available: above-ground square feet, below-ground square feet, finished square feet and unfinished square feet. Larger photos of the user-selected comparable properties are now available within the Comp Analysis workflow, and you can scroll through multiple photos of a property when they are available. You can select a map point to initiate the "best business" analysis in Commercial. Map layer performance is improved, reducing the chance that a tile for a heat map or other map information will be incomplete in your reports. You can now filter active listings and pending sales out of your All Properties searches for distressed properties. Coming soon RPR is preparing a dashboard for Associations and MLSs. You will hear more about this feature, designed for Association and MLS staff to help serve their members, when it begins beta testing in September. The Sales Comparison Analysis feature, which is designed for REALTOR® Appraisers and has been in beta testing, will be made available to all RPR users in September. The Sales Comparison Analysis is a simple and powerful way to evaluate a property using area sales information, as well as competitive listings, and produce a detailed record that can be saved or printed.
