DESCRIPTION

In this session, we’ll walk through how to use Crexi Intelligence to analyze deals more efficiently and make more informed decisions.

We’ll cover how to search for sales comps and access property record data across every parcel to better understand pricing and ownership.

From there, we’ll dive into our Dwellsy integration, which brings multifamily rental data alongside sales comps and ownership information into one place, allowing you to validate rent assumptions and evaluate opportunities without switching between platforms.

We’ll also review Tenant Data, which helps you go beyond the property itself to understand who is operating in a market, where they are located, and what that means for demand, competition, and potential opportunity.

The goal of this session is to show how you can streamline your workflow, underwrite deals faster, and make more confident investment decisions using a single platform.

DESCRIPTION

Occasionally, you may get a showing request from an appraiser or real estate licensee who isn’t an MLS user affiliated with one of our eKey reciprocity partners. So, we’ve enabled a new feature in your Supra eKey – Single Access!

Single Access allows listing agents on a case-by-case basis to invite the property owner, or out-of-area appraisers or real estate licensees to access a keybox at a specific date/time. Single Access offers:

• Secure, limited, and non-transferable access
• Access credentials delivered to the out-of-area licensee’s smartphone
• Easy to view, modify and manage granted access within the Supra eKEY app
• Out-of-area licensees have a “one-button” (i.e., Obtain Key) within the Supra eKEY app that provides easy access to obtain keys from Supra lockboxes.

To ensure our eKey holders limit the use of Single Access to authorized persons, the MLS Rules include the following:

Section 18.12.a. Supra’s Managed Access is available to any Participant or Subscriber Keyholder (i.e., listing agent) to provide access to the Keyholder’s keybox, provided the person to whom access is granted is the property owner or:

i.     Holds an active real estate or appraiser license in the state where the property is located; and

ii.   Is not an MLS Participant or Subscriber in this MLS or any MLS with whom Greater Chattanooga REALTORS® has e-Key reciprocity.

When granting Managed Access, Keyholder shall enter in the Supra system the name and contact information of the real person to whom access is being granted. Failure to abide by this Section 18.12.a. shall result in a:

i.     Five hundred dollars ($500) for the first offense:

ii.   Seven hundred and fifty dollars ($750) for the second offense; and

iii. One thousand dollars ($1,000) for the third offense.

For any fourth or more violation, the offender shall appear before the MLS Committee for consideration of discipline to be imposed. Said discipline shall be limited to those outlined in Section 7 of hte MLS Rules. 

DESCRIPTION

Every day, agents interact with strangers in isolated situations that put themselves at risk. Showing real estate leaves agents vulnerable to being attacked. Every year statistics prove this to be true. Agents are faced with unspeakable crimes resulting in fatalities. We do not want to believe that crime can happen to us but most people are unprepared for an attack. What would you do if you were confronted by a predator? Please wear comfortable clothing, this will be an interactive class.
