SupraRPR Links now available in the Portal
As previously announced, you can access RPR (REALTORS Property Resource) right in the MLS Portal from the RPR button and also from within MLXchange and Fusion as follows:
*    Resource Links Section on Home Page, go to Smart Links
*    In the left column of the Detail view of MLS listing

This exclusive NAR member benefit gives you access to hundreds of datasets on over 160 million properties across the country, at no additional cost.  This feature was made available in January but some members were unable to get to RPR properly using these methods. This has now been corrected for all members. Every member should now be able to use any of the links to get to RPR. New members will need to create an account using your NRDS ID the first time.  Note, when selecting which MLS we are, it is under NY and GENRIS - Genesee Region Real Estate Information Service.

Whether in your office, or on the go, RPR provides easy access to detailed property and market information, leaving you at the center of the transaction...right where you belong. The best part? It's included in your NAR member dues, and offered as an MLS benefit, so there is no additional cost.
