BeachesMLS COVID-19 Toolkit... Look Inside!

Your Realtor® Association and BeachesMLS have been creating content daily, so you have the tools as we work through this pandemic together! We've compiled some helpful resources — your COVID-19 Toolkit.

Online Education Library

Have a little extra time? Take advantage of our wide array of online education provided by your Association, MLS, National Association of Realtors and more. Watch live or view pre-recorded webinars.  Visit rworld.com/webinars for the full library.

Temporary Off Market Status

Use the Temporarily Off Market (TOM) status in Flex or Matrix to transition your listing from Active status and stop showings.

  • TOM pauses the Days on Market counts, and also pauses distribution to IDX feeds and third-party sites.

  • You must have written permission from your seller to use this status (email is okay.)

  • No showings are allowed for listings in Temporarily Off Market status.

COVID-19 Scams and Helpful Tips

Scam artists are trying to use multiple techniques to try and trick vulnerable homeowners, Realtors®, or the real estate industry at large. We have compiled a large library of resources to keep you safe. Learn more at rworld.com/blog/scam
