Paragon Document Uploads Made Easier!


You can upload MLS documents directly within your listings in Paragon—making your workflow faster. This enhancement keeps your files organized and ensures proper visibility for each document type.


Key Highlights:


Direct Upload: Upload documents straight into your listing for faster processing.

Document Visibility:


Private: Listing agent, broker, and MLS staff only


Public: All agents and buyers (via Collaboration Center)


Common Document Types:



Private by default: IMDOC, AMD, MLOFS, AOCS


Public by default: LdPNT, RECR, Ex Sum, Condo Add, EMEA, PDOC


Tip: Avoid clicking the public box unless you want to override default visibility.



📌 FAQs at a Glance:

  • Uploading is now the preferred method instead of emailing documents.
  • Mistaken visibility? Simply check/uncheck the public box to fix.
  • The variety of document types ensures all listing needs are covered.

Security Alert: Reported Scam Targeting REALTORS®



We want to make members aware of a potential scam that has now been reported by multiple members.


Members have received unsolicited text messages from individuals claiming to be relocating from out of state and requesting a Zoom meeting. When members asked for meeting details, they were sent links that required downloading software or files.


At this time, the exact intent of the scam is unclear. It may involve malware, attempts to access personal or business information, or broader real estate fraud.


In one reported case, a seller has placed a fraud alert on their property with the Register of Deeds as a precaution.



Please remember:

  • Do not download files or software from unknown contacts
  • Be cautious of unsolicited relocation inquiries
  • Create and share your own verified meeting links
  • Report suspicious activity to your broker and appropriate authorities


Competing Offer Y/N


When changing a listing to an offer status – AC (offer-show), AB (offer-bump) or PND (offer-NO show) – you are asked if there were competing offers. Answer “Yes” only if there was more than one written offer presented at the same time (including the accepted offer). NOTE: This field is optional at the time you change a listing to AC, AB or PND, but required once you change a listing to SOLD.
