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.

Congrats to the RPR team on launching this blog today!
Reggie – a huge congrats to you and the team
Thanks Stephen! Will I see you at RE Bar Camp New York?
Yes you will! Really glad to hear you will be there
Congratulations on the “quick” launch! Looking forward to staying connected and growing the presence of the REALTOR Brand.
Reggie- congrats to all on the launch. Excited to learn all the capabilities and would love to have the chance to experiment.
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!

Just watched the introduction video. Looks pretty amazing!!!
what an exciting day! it is great to read everyone’s feedback and learn your thoughts.
[...] Reggie Nicolay and his team deserve a ton of credit for the new blog. It’s well-designed, the content is rich and detailed, and many of the tools I would expect [...]
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.)
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.
Daryl
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.
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.
Great work, Reggie. The RPR looks pretty advanced.
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.
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.
Looking forward to seeing RPR as a truly useful tool for realtors
This looks really great! Keep up the good work and Thank You and NAR.
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?
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?
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?
I look forward to seeing you there.
This is overwhelming… much more extensive than I had imagined. Great resource!
As a member of NAR for at least 2 decades I welcome the RPR and a fantastic tool. But wonder why RPR does not include ALL members of NAR. It will only accept MLS members.
This is continued discrimination for members who do not use the MLS. This is in part another form of discrimination from the commercial-industrial and office broker’s vs the housing brokers.
Not all NAR members subscribe to MLS simply because most regional MLS system is more residential than commercial. Most MLS services do not offer the resources our commercial clients demand. Instead we use other resources like CoStar, Loopnet, CCIMREX and other local CMLS.
NAR should reconsider opening this up to ALL members since we ALL pay dues.
Please reconsider or dump the entire RPR. Thanks
Realtors, this is great! Sign up today!!
