The MSBR Understanding Through Diversity Summit was a wonderful event.  The exhibitors and attendees said they enjoyed networking with so many diverse organizations, Natalie Davis provided helpful takeaways for recognizing our personal implicit biases and our panelist: Derick Daly, Tina Grace Jones and Victoria Gomez gave us insight on their non-profits and how they help the community. Profession Green lead a 2-hour tour of Easton's Historic Hill District which everyone said they really enjoyed.

BRIGHT UPDATES 

 

         Bright Search Updates:  Starting Sept 26, updates were made to Bright Search.

  •  Carts & Favorites Searches Dashboard – This page will have an intuitive new layout plus a Timeline feature that lets you track recent client activity in chronological order. Also, the Edit Dashboard button allows you to easily reorder and toggle on/off the displayed panels and widgets. Note: News & Alerts will always display in the first position and be hidden if nothing is posted, in order to save screen space.
  • Auto Emails – Sort, filter, or show your list of Auto Emails using the >> icon at the top of the page. View basic information for each Auto Email in its list view, or click on one to see the details or jump to available actions. There will now be an option to Disable each Auto Email individually by clicking the Disable button in the expanded view of that selected Auto Email.
  • Saved Searches – Sort, filter, or show your list of Saved Searches using the >> icon at the top of the page. View basic information for each Saved Search in its list view, or click on one to see the details or jump to available actions. You will now be able to choose whether or not to display your Saved Search on your Carts & Favorites Searches Dashboard by toggling it on/off from its Settings.   

 

       

COMING SOON! Office Exclusive: Coming later this month, you will be able to enter Office Exclusive listings in Bright Listing Management. This will provide one location for you to enter this information and make it easier to publish as a full listing if the seller requests that update. Office Exclusive listings will not be distributed and must still follow the current rules around marketing.  

 

Offer Management URL: Starting October 4, Bright will provide the option to enter an offer management link in a brand-new listing field. With the new field, buyer's agents will be able to more easily view and share this information with their buyers.
