Get ready for a NEW Broadcast Email solution: Gaggle Mail!

Next week (September 5), the VBR will launch a new option for our member-to-member Broadcast Email system. It's called Gaggle Mail and will completely replace our existing system.

We heard from our members, and we are offering all of the features you have requested. Gaggle Mail is more user-friendly. You'll be able to manage vacation holds, enable a digest, and view your archives. You can still send and receive from your OWN email server and your Gaggle Mail profile.

The lists will be the following:

• Real Estate
• Open House
• Rental Information
• General News
• For Sale

IMPORTANT: There will be NEW email addresses for each list - active as of September 5th! They are listed below in the next section.

Your current subscription on the old system will move to GaggleMail automatically. The old email addresses (vbrbes.org) will be shut down at the end of September.

BE PREPARED

We want to prepare you for the switch.

The current VMLS Rules & Regulations will remain the same. The Cheat Sheet we provide will have the new addresses.

• Real Estate: real.estate@vbrbes will be replaced with:

real-estate@gaggle.email

• Open House: open.house@vbrbes.org will be replaced with:

open-house@gaggle.email

• Rental Information rental.information@vbrbes.org will be replaced with: 

rental-information@gaggle.email

• General News: general.news@vbrbes.org will be replaced with:

general-news@gaggle.email

• For Sale: general.news@vbrbes.org will be replaced with:

for-sale@gaggle.email



We have attached the Broadcast Email Cheat Sheet with the new email addresses. Please bookmark or print this for your reference. It will also be added to the VBR site.

'HOW TO' WEBINAR: SEPTEMBER 12

Lastly, we will have an online webinar hosted by MLS Manager Jessica Cliver to go over the new product and take your questions.
