Recent Bright Updates:

  • Added a new agent production report called “ Agent Awards Report”. It allows agents to use a custom time-period and generate a report with all their production and calculated volume, grouped by property type. Learn more about this report. 
  • A different disclaimer is now showing on the CMA based on the state of the subscriber’s office.
  • Block and Lot were added to the Agent and Client Full Reports.
  • Directions has been added to the Client Full and Portal displays.
  • Listings associated with inactive offices were not showing in an agent's inventory. These listings are now showing in their inventory. For example, if an agent transferred to a new office and old office was inactive, the listings associated with the old office were not showing previously.
  • Re-calculations of Days on Market for MRIS.com-originated "Contingent No Kick Out" listings to "Pending" status in Bright are currently undergoing quality assurance review, with a goal of releasing by the end of next week.
