Changes in MLS and The Real Blog

For my loyal readers, I apologize for not posting on the Blog lately. We have had some upgrades to the systems, and you know how that goes sometimes. The 'new and improved' systems have to go out for a shakedown cruise before taking passengers.

Specifically, our main database resource, CrisNet MLS is no more, and has been replaced by the SoCalMLS. The new functionality is similar to AV's Rapatonni system, and includes an extended area including all of the area south of Santa Clarita including the greater Los Angeles area plus Orange County. At this point, both Simi and Conejo Valley Assns. of Realtors have opted out of this extended MLS system, preferring to retain their small local MLS areas. Antelope Valley continues as before, with its own MLS system. I will remain a member of the Greater Antelope Valley Assn. of Realtors (GAVAR) in addition to my membership in the massive SoCalMLS system.

This Blog has some increased functionality, with the purchase of Blogger by Google. I have had some problems getting in here to post lately with the upgrade, but that problem seems to have been resolved.

I have initiated some new marketing efforts which some of you may notice, and have some exciting new listings coming along that are great homes! And the people that I am working with are terrific... and it is indeed an honor to be working with them!

More later...
