REALIST REVERSE LINK TO TEMPO® SYSTEM:

As of June 8, 2005, from Realist you can now link back to the corresponding property in the TEMPO® System.  TEMPO® will retrieve the Active status listing in the Long/Primary Photo format.

We have submitted a programming request to retrieve non-Active status listings, as well.  When implemented, TEMPO® will retrieve the corresponding listings in the Short format.

EL PASO CROSS REFERENCE INDEX FOR REALIST SEARCHES:

Within a few days RSC will release a staff-designed program that will allow you to search the El Paso County Assessor file by Top and Side Coordinate numbers, Sold Date, or Above Grade Sq Ft.  When the program returns matches, you may use the schedule numbers to identify properties for your Realist search.  The link to the program will be located on the “Sidebar” in the TEMPO® system.  At the Sidebar, go to MLS Links, then County Record Index.
