Remarks, "Branded" email   8/30/2005
  • PPAR and RSC Offices will be closed on Monday, September 5, 2005 for Labor Day.
  • Reminder for Property Description Remarks and Property Description Supplemental Remarks and Photo Remarks.
    • Should only be used to describe the physical attributes of the property.
    • Should not contain financial information such as VA Repo, Foreclosure, As Is, etc. as these choices can now be easily and efficiently searched in the “Sale Conditions” field.
    • May contain Builder Model, but should not contain Builder Name, even if it is a re-sale, as this is considered contact information. 
      • As an example, suppose a home had been built in January 2005, sold in February 2005, and then re-listed in September 2005.  It would be considered a resale, but if the builder is still building homes in the area, then the reference to Builder Name would be providing “contact” information for the builder, just the same as any reference to a brokerage would be considered contact information.  RSC does not have the resources to research whether a listing is for a new property, a re-sale, or the status of building projects in an area. Consequently there is a uniform restriction on Builder Name in these remarks.  You may, however, include Builder Name in the Showing/Agent Remarks field.
  • "Branded” Prospect Email May be Blocked by Client’s ISP
    • RSC has received a few tech calls where the agent has added an extension, or a “brand” to their prospect email.  
      Apparently the purpose of the “brand” is to customize their emails.  However, please be aware that some ISP’s (Internet Service Providers) may view this branding as spam and may block the branded email from reaching its recipient.  So even though the email is successfully sent from the TEMPO server, it is blocked when it reaches the prospect’s ISP and as a result, the prospect never gets the listing information that was sent by the agent.  A hypothetical example of a branded Prospect email would look something like this, johnclient@aol.com.addabrand.com. 
  • A Few Notes from the Last TEMPO Publish
    • “Agent” report was re-named “Showing” report. 
    • On the “Short” report the Property Description Remarks were replaced with the Showing/Agent Remarks.  The Property Description Remarks still display on the “Customer Short” report.
    • New fields, “Type Listing Agreement” and “Service Level” were added to the input worksheets.
    • References to “See Remarks” were changed to “See Property Description Remarks”. 
    • In the fields that are agent-specific, the choice “See Remarks” was changed to “See Show/Agent Remarks”.
