WELCOME TO THE NABORhood! NEW FACEBOOK GROUP FOR OUR MEMBERS! In response to member requests, we have created a closed Facebook group for our members to have a more interactive social media experience. Our "official" board page is a public facing page and comments left there are not shown in the timeline, but are grouped under "Visitor Posts" in the sidebar. This new page will allow members to post comments and questions and interact with board leadership and with each other. Please visit our public Facebook page and click VISIT GROUP. You will then have the option to JOIN GROUP.

LOCKBOX EXCHANGE HAS ENDED! Supra packed up and left Friday evening, but we still have over 1,000 lockboxes that have yet to be exchanged. These will now have to be exchanged by staff at the board office. We can exchange lockboxes from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Friday. If you have more than ten to exchange, please call us at 479-770-0241 so we can schedule a time to get you back out selling real estate as quickly as possible. PLEASE NOTE iBoxes (short boxes) are not being exchanged and support for them will end on the last day of July. iBox BTLE's do not need to be exchanged. iBox BT's must be exchanged by July 18. On July 19 they will be deleted from the system and you will no longer be able to use them. By August 1, NABOR will be using only the iBox BTLE's (pictured below on the right).

MLS UPDATES It's been a full week since we instructed over eighty vendors to begin pulling their RETS/IDX feeds from Matrix . We've not had much in the way of status updates, but we believe that some vendors have already switched back to pulling from Matrix. If you have not already done so, please begin the process of making sure ALL your data is correct and complete in Matrix. The Board of Directors met on Friday and they have extended the deadline to have all data entered in Matrix to July 31st. MLS of Choice is here! What will MLS of Choice mean for YOU? MLS of Choice FAQ MLS of Choice Waiver Live, hands-on MLS training is offered every Wednesday at the NABOR Event Center from 1:00 to 4:00 p.m. Bring your laptop and your questions!
