Bright will be releasing our NEW Listing Management Experience for all Maryland subscribers early September. I want to make sure all members have an opportunity for training before the release as well as full support after. The old platform will still be able to be used until late 2025/early 2026 so we do want to encourage training and using the new experience before that happens. These classes are virtual, I am happy to schedule additional training in-person if you feel there is a need for that.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
