Two new member services!
Two new member services are available to RAHB members: the Single Sign On (SSO) and online Realty Shoppe. Both services were announced at the recent RAHB Annual General Meeting.
Single Sign On
The Single Sign On provides members with a way to sign on once and navigate to various RAHB applications such as Fusion, WEBForms®, REALTOR Link®, CONNECT, OpenHouses.ca and RAHB’s Statistical Information Management (SIM) site without the need to sign on again.
To use the SSO, go to http://rahb.starrs.ca, where you will be asked to sign on with your usual login credentials. Once logged in, you can navigate to the various sites in the “Applications” section. As long as you are logged in to the SSO, you will not have to log in again to any of these applications and you can move back and forth between them.
The SSO also includes links to Point2 Agent, Property Panorama, Canada Post, the Cities of Hamilton and Burlington, RECO, the RAHB public website, the online Realty Shoppe and other RAHB sites. These links are provided for your convenience; if the site you want is secured, you will still have to sign in.
The Single Sign On is a work in progress – we will continue to add more applications such as GeoWarehouse and others you will find useful. (Please note that until GeoWarehouse is added to the SSO, you will continue to access it through Fusion.) The SSO also gives RAHB a platform for developing new applications such as a YouTube channel for webcasting town hall and other membership meetings – but these are in the plans for the future.
RAHB’s Single Sign On does not replace direct access to Fusion; you may still access Fusion at http://fusion.starrs.ca.
If you have any questions or comments about the Single Sign On, please contact the MLS® department.
Online Realty Shoppe
RAHB members can now browse or purchase Realty Shoppe merchandise in the comfort of their homes or offices.
By using the link in the Single Sign On or the SmartLink in Fusion, you will be taken to Membership Director, where you will have to sign in as you would if you were paying a RAHB bill or signing up for an education course. Once on the site, click on “Online Store” and you can browse through current Realty Shoppe merchandise, fill up your cart and checkout.
Two things to note: first, orders must be paid online by Visa, MasterCard or American Express. Secondly, once you have ordered online, you can pick up your order at the Realty Shoppe or have it delivered to your office, provided your office is on a regular RAHB delivery route.
If you have any questions about the online store, please contact the Realty Shoppe at 905.529.5979.
Ethics Corner – Investment Property Listings and Sales – Avoid Misrepresentation
Many RAHB members have encountered a situation where they are listing, showing or selling a multi-residential property – a duplex, triplex or property with up to six or eight individual rental units. Some properties conform to local zoning bylaws and some – many, in Hamilton – do not. (more…)

Ethics Corner – Be clear about rental items in real estate contracts
When you sell your home, if you expect the buyer to take over any of your rental obligations, be clear, or you will end up paying for it yourself later. (There’s a lesson for REALTORS® here, too.)
