Motion change MLS Rules #2.27 – Advertising to Advertising/Branding and add the following new verbiage: Personal and or company adver-tising on the MLS system outside of the approved fields is prohibited (3/05). There will be a regulation of the 90/10 rule on all logo brandings; logos must first be submitted and approved through the association staff; logos shall not include broker ’s address, email address, website address, or phone numbers; branding does NOT allow the use of business cards or yard signs; all logos must be in the bottom right hand corner of the photograph(s).

Motion to change Policy & Procedure in “Nominating” Section to add under State Directors: Duties include nominating backups for any state director positions in case a serving member cannot complete all years of their term.

Safety is a top concern for many real estate agents, especially when meeting a client somewhere other than the office. Although showings, listing appointments and open houses are standard in the industry, they also leave an agent vulnerable being attacked by a stranger. This isn’t to scare you—most of the time, your list-ing appointments, open houses and showings will go off without a hitch. However, it never hurts to be prepared just in case something feels ‘off.

Agents Armor (Download for iOS and Android) is a free app designed to give you peace of mind on the job. The app allows you to “check in” to the app when you’re hosting an open house, show-ing a property or at a listing presentation. Double tap the red button to call 911 and notify your con-tacts if you’re in trouble. The app also features built-in GPS that allows your contacts to see where you are.
