RE/Xplorer Search screen tip

If a search screen in RE/Xplorer will not open, or it starts to open but then does not fill in, try the following:

At the bottom-right of Internet Explorer, make sure the zoom level is set to 100%.
You can click on it until it changes to 100%, then the RE/Xplorer search screen should open correctly.

If it still doesn't work, you may have a pop-up blocker running, or it may be that Internet Explorer 9 was installed. Please give us a call at 203-840-6674 ext 310 and we can help you with that.

Continuing Education Available

Continuing Education classes are being offered by many of the area local boards of Realtors.

Paragon 5 is Now Available

In the near future, GFC CMLS is going to be upgrading our Paragon system from version 4 to version 5. Currently, users have access to both versions of Paragon: Paragon 4 is still available by using the icon in the upper right corner of the GFC CMLS homepage (www.ct-mls.com); Paragon5 is now available by opening your browser and going to http://cmls.paragonrels.com. Eventually, Paragon 4 will be completely replaced by Paragon 5, and will we put a new icon on our homepage for it.

Hands down, the primary benefit of using Paragon 5 is that it is completely compatible with the Mac operating system and Safari browser. Currently, it is not compatible with the iPad or iPhone (although programmers are very close to having it certified for the iPad). You can access reInsight Mobile (http://cmls.mobile.fnismls.com) from either of these devices.

In addition to Safari, you can also access P5 from the Firefox, Chrome, and Opera internet browsers.

Some other reasons you should check out Paragon 5 include:
1. P5 is faster and more user friendly than its predecessor

2. It boasts more customizable reports3. Client Connect- a new module that creates a portal for your Contacts which facilitates communication regarding their saved searches.

*** As is the case with Paragon 4, you will still not be able to input or modify listings in Paragon 5, nor will you be able to see tours/ open houses. You will still need to access RE/Xplorer to perform these functions.***
