Our local MLS provider just changed, and here is what that means for you
By Scott Rogers • April 21, 2015
Most properties listed for sale by Realtors in this area are in the Harrisonburg / Rockingham Association of Realtors "MLS" -- or "Multiple Listing Service". This is a database where all Realtors enter the homes that they are listing and marketing, and that data then feeds the variety of websites where you might be searching for homes for sale.... my website or mobile app other company or agent websites Realtor.com, Trulia.com, Zillow.com etc., etc., etc. Well, after many years of using a system called "Navica" to power our local MLS, our local Realtor association changed over to a new MLS technology provider this week, called "Paragon". Here's what that means for you.... When viewing properties online, you may notice some discrepancies or issues on various websites over the next few weeks as the data is cleaned up, converted, etc. When viewing properties in person, the print out of property information about the house will now look different. Depending on how you were receiving notifications of new listings, price changes, etc., those alerts may or may not still come to your inbox. Most particularly, if you were receiving them directly from Navica, they will assuredly be stopping very soon. If you see issues, have questions, or want help saving some searches or receiving auto alerts of new listings, just let me know. Otherwise, hold on tight for a few weeks as all of the local agents and companies make the transition to this new system.
