Troubleshooting Guide to SafeMLS Logins  

Heartland MLS recently took an important step to face a challenge that is prevalent in our entire industry - that of data security and unauthorized account sharing. With the implementation of proven security technology SafeMLS, HMLS Participants and Subscribers are seeing a slightly different login screen and are being asked to enroll in SafeMLS and to select a new password when accessing Matrix.  

 

For solutions to some of the most common issues you may face when changing your password, see this Troubleshooting Guide. You can also call Heartland MLS at 913-661-1600 for assistance. 

Safety Tip

Nothing personal...    

When talking to clients and prospects, be friendly but still keep your personal information private. This means avoiding mention of where you live, your after-work or vacation plans, and similar details.

 

September marks NAR's annual REALTORS® Safety Month. There are always a lot of safety-related issues and tips to consider, so be sure to visit realtor.org/safety for additional information.

It's the new law  

If you are licensed in Missouri, please note that prior to the next renewal you'll need to have your fingerprints on file with the Missouri Real Estate Commission. This is NOT a requirement just for new licensees, so even if you've been licensed for years, you'll need to get your prints on file before your next renewal. In order to avoid delays, it is recommended that you be fingerprinted by March 1, 2012.  

 

For more info, including how to arrange for on-site fingerprinting, go to the MREC site at  http://pr.mo.gov/realestate.asp and see the New Fingerprinting Q&A section.
