Are you going to Nashville?

Just when the dust settled from conferences in Florida and Nevada, we’re gearing up for another conference in Nashville.  It’s the Berkshire Hathaway Home Services BHHS/Prudential conference on March 16-18.  We’ll be in Booth 334 in the Exhibitor Showcase.  Be sure to stop by to say ‘Hello’ and see up-to-the-minute ReloSpec features.

We hope to see you in Nashville!

ReloSpec Advisory Councils forming soon

Many of you have asked about the formation of a ReloSpec Advisory Council.  You have asked and we have listened.  Today we are announcing plans to form at least one Advisory Council and possibly three.

The purpose of the Advisory Council(s) is to identify ways that Relocation Specialist can be improved to meet the needs of specific groups of people.  We’re considering an Advisory Council for Cartus Network users, one for LeadingRE users and another for Berkshire Hathaway Home Services/Prudential and other users.

We need your help in the formation of the Advisory Council(s).  What would you suggest for the following questions:

  1. How often should the Council meet?  (Once per month in a GoToMeeting format?)
  2. How many should be members of the Council?
  3. Does it make sense to have separate groups?  (eg. Cartus Network, LeadingRE, BHHS/Pru, etc?)
  4. How and when to report on Council activities?

Please let a member of the ReloSpec Team know your suggestions.  You may add comments here on the blog or email or call a Team member.

We look forward to your suggestions and participation.

Will We See You Next Week?

It’s that time of year already.  We just finish with the New Years celebrations and it’s time to pack for the next conference.  This year, two major conferences are held at the same time, but at opposite ends of the country.

The Cartus Network conference will be held next week in Ft Lauderdale, FL.  Of course ReloSpec will again be represented and Sue Farley will be there to meet with you.  Look for the ReloSpec table in the EXPO area throughout the conference.

The LeadingRE conference is in Las Vegas again this year.  We’ll be there too and Jim Evans will look forward to meeting with you at Booth #1308 at the wild and crazy Networking Night, plus throughout the conference in the Exhibit area.

We hope to see you soon!

Compatibility Mode for ReloSpec and Broker Center import

Many of you have had your PCs upgraded to the latest Internet Explorer version 11 (IE 11).  This may have happened automatically without you knowing about it or your IT person may have done it.  The addition of IE 11 may have caused your PC to display the ReloSpec pages in a way that isn’t pleasing.  Bold thick lines may appear where pleasing thin lines were there before.  And, if you are using the Broker Center copy/paste feature it may have stopped working intermittently or altogether if you’re using IE 11.

To learn which version of IE you are using, tap the ALT key on your keyboard to display the menu bar (if it isn’t already visible).  Click ‘Help’ and ‘About Internet Explorer’.  A page will open to display the version.

To put a web page; in this case ReloSpec, into ‘Compatibility View’, open ReloSpec , tap the ALT key to display the menu bar, click Tools and View Compatibility Settings.  A page will open and show that “prosws.com” has been entered into the ‘Add this website’ field.  Click the ADD button and close the page.  Now, each time you go to ReloSpec you’ll be in the preferred Compatibility View.

For those of you using the Broker Center copy/paste page, open the page by clicking the ‘Broker Center’ link and put this page into Compatibility View using the steps in the previous paragraph.  A revised copy/paste page that is fully compatible with IE 11 will be available.  In the mean time this one-step fix for Compatibility View will work nicely.

Aren’t You Tired Of Re-Entering Data?
