As the Director of Social Media for Realtors Property Resource™ (RPR), let me be the first to welcome you to the new RPR blog. For us, the launch of this new blog is very exciting. In the beginning we will share the various aspects to the RPR, answer product related questions, highlight beta markets and join in on relevant industry conversation.
If you’re ready to start learning about RPR today, I’ve highlighted a few areas of the blog that you may find helpful:
- FAQ’s: We have assembled FAQ’s into 7 channels: General, Appraiser, Association, Broker, MLS, REALTOR, & Vendor. Although we’re starting with the current base of questions, they will evolve as the product does.
- Weekly Realtors Property Resource Demonstrations: The RPR industry relations team will be conducting weekly product demonstrations. If you would like to participate in one of these sessions, please sign up here.
- Pre Recorded Demo: Many of you may not need a live product demonstration and will enjoy a prerecorded version. Start with this video lead by Mona Steen, Senior Vice-President of Industry Relations, as she takes you on a walkthrough of RPR.
- Newsletter: You can’t leave the new RPR blog without signing up for our newsletter. The sign up form is over on the sidebar. I promise we won’t spam you. This is simply going to be us communicating new blogs posts and important announcements about the RPR.
If you have questions, please use our contact form included in the top navigation. We are listening and do appreciate when you take the time to share your thoughts. Also if you’re on Twitter, make sure you connect with me @ReggieRPR. I look forward to conversations and learning from one another.

Been following you for awhile now, keep up the fast pace, all good stuff!

Reggie,
I may be biased, but the site looks awesome.
Keep up the great work.

Congrats on the new blog, Reggie. Glad you guys are officially on the RE.net now to carry on the conversation.
What’s this “accept RPR blog’s Terms of Use” business, by the way? Couldn’t get NAR Legal to understand this whole social media business, eh? I’m teasing!

Fantastic work, Reggie! Good luck with the blog, and be sure to add the missing apostrophe in “it’s” in your headline. (Sorry, I can’t turn off my editor function.)
FLAG
Janine you’re awesome! Thanks for catching that.

I think this will be a turning point in REALTOR history as to how we continue to be valuable in the world of all things real estate in the “second century”.
Love it.

Your site presentation is quite impressive.
However, a note on the FAQs. Using the open in a separate window format is much too cumbersome. The FAQs should be on one continuous page to avoid the continuous jumping back and forth.
FLAG
George – Thanks for your input. Next week is busy with Inman Connect and Re BarCamp, but at my first opportunity I’ll add a printer friendly page for the FAQ’s….that should help for those that want to scroll a long list.
FLAG
Great work, Reggie. The RPR looks pretty advanced.
FLAG
Reggie, congratulations for getting things off the ground. These are exciting times to be in the real estate industry with many visionary changes around the corner. I’m looking forward to using this extensively in the future.
FLAG
I am looking forward to seeing where RPR takes us. I have a few concerns about some of the issues involved and I am curious to see how they resolve themselves.
FLAG
Looking forward to seeing RPR as a truly useful tool for realtors
FLAG
This looks really great! Keep up the good work and Thank You and NAR.
FLAG
Again, Great stuff!

As a reminder for everyone commenting, we offer a walk through of RPR on Thursday’s.

Is there a list somewhere showing which MLSs have signed up?
FLAG
I truly hope ours does not join and wiser heads prevail about many of the concepts of sharing data nationwide when little control is possible of the local data if it is available nationally to any lender through review-appraiser members.
The “RVM” will be a disaster for Appraiser/Members as lenders will feel a desktop done in Plano Texas will be more accurate than an appraisal done in the field where I work in Montana. Do you members think your sale will go through if the RVM returns a value less than the contract price, even if the appraiser disagrees?
FLAG
WOW! I’m so excited. Can’t wait
Good luck

I love what I see. A little confusion about the demographic info. I certainly understand the concern around use of it and crime data, etc. In one place it appears the data will be readily available, and in another place it seems to state it is excluded. Curious?
