EL PASO CROSS REFERENCE INDEX FOR REALIST SEARCHES:

A new “County Records Index” is now available.  This RSC staff-created program allows users to search the El Paso County Assessor data by Top and Side Coordinates, Sold Date or Above Grade Sq Ft. When the program returns matches, you may use the schedule numbers to identify properties for a Realist Tax ID/Property ID Search. 

The link to this new program is located on the “Sidebar” in the TEMPO® system.  At the Sidebar, go to MLS Links, then County Record Index. For help on using the TEMPO® Sidebar, click on the ? in the upper-right of TEMPO® window and look up "Sidebar".

REALIST SQ FT HELP:

REALIST REVERSE LINK TO TEMPO® SYSTEM:

As of June 8, 2005 in the Realist system, users may 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.

TEMPO SALE CONDITIONS FIELD:

Just a reminder that the new field, Sale Conditions, is available and is being searched upon.  This is a required field.  Consequently, if you have added or edited a listing within the last few weeks you would have been prompted for a selection for this field.  If not, consider editing your listing to reflect any applicable Sale Conditions choices such as “Sold As Is”, “HUD Repo”, “VA Repo”, “Affordable Housing Subsidy Available”, etc.
