You were asking ….about electronic lock boxes
RAHB staff have been asked when electronic lock boxes will be stocked in the Realty Shoppe. The answer: they won’t.
The Board of Directors put forward a motion that RAHB adopt SentriLock electronic lock boxes and members voted on the motion at the May General Membership Meeting. The motion was defeated, and the Board has accepted the members’ decision. RAHB will no longer be pursuing electronic lock boxes.

MLS® in Brief
WEBForms® and Clauses
RAHB has received calls from members having a problem with WEBForms®, where clauses are not separated and run in a continuing sentence.
CREA has advised that this problem is experienced by members who run Windows XP and Internet Explorer 8. CREA no longer supports either of the programs and Microsoft does not support Windows XP. Upgrading your version of Windows should resolve the issue.
