Stratus Enhancements

 

The following enhancements have been implemented on Stratus MLS effective 5/25/05.

 

1.     Search Listings:

a.       Side By Side Comparison Report has been added to Report Formats from Search Results.  This new report enables you to search for listings and then select those you want to compare side by side - without running a complete CMA.

2.      Listing Photos have been enhanced as follows:

a.       We have increased the photo resolution for new photos on Stratus.  As a result, new photos will be crisper and a better quality.  (We are now storing them at 480x360).  Note: This does not affect the size of the photo you submit when you upload photos.

b.      Those photos taken by the MLS Photographer (not uploaded by you) will now have a sharpening  process done for better quality images.

c.

3.  Consumer Open Houses

b.  In addition to scheduling Broker Open Houses, you can now schedule Consumer Open Houses.

                             

Stratus Enhancements (Cont’d.)

 

c.       Consumer Open Houses that you enter on Stratus in Add/Edit Listing are updated on the consumer site one time per day – around 5am.  The cutoff time on Stratus to get your Consumer Open Houses in is 3AM each evening.  Anything entered prior to 3AM on Stratus will be available on the consumer site the next morning.  Anything you enter after 3AM won’t be available until the next day.

d.      There is a new report format in Stratus Search Results called Consumer Open House.

e.       Consumers search for your scheduled Consumer Open Houses on www.mlsli.com where a new search has been added called Open House Search. 

 

 

While your Consumer Open House is scheduled, the address of your listing will appear in both Find A Home and Open House. 

 

 

f.   Addresses Will Display    From the time you schedule a Consumer Open House until it has passed, your  listing’s address will display for the consumers on www.mlsli.com.  Once the Open House Date has passed, the address will be suppressed if you have entered N in Display Address On Internet.  If you have entered Y, your address will continue to display for the consumer.
