NAR Delayed Listing Announcement

SCWMLS is aware of the recent NAR delayed listing announcement. We are reviewing the change and will communicate with our members before the change starts September 30th. For now, business will continue as usual.

Coming Soon: Auto-emails for Delayed Listings

We are excited to share the news that by the end of April, delayed listings will be eligible for auto-email notifications and display in the Collaboration Center. We are finalizing the details to ensure a smooth rollout and will provide additional information as we progress. Stay tuned for updates!

NextKey℠ Has Launched!


All RASCW members have been automatically enrolled in the NextKey Campus and the first two courses for free. Please see the email indicating you have been enrolled for two complementary courses:


  • Value-Based Prospecting

NextKey℠ Campus

Access to these free courses is available until May 30, 2025. You will not be charged for not taking the classes. This is a free member benefit.

If you do nothing, your enrollment in NextKey will end on May 30, 2025, and your information will be deleted from the NextKey Campus.


If you wish to be deleted from the NextKey Campus sooner, please contact us at rascw@wisre.com.


RASCW & SCWMLS feel providing education to our members is important, and we invite you to enjoy this membership benefit.

SCWMLS News & Hot Tips:

Daylight Saving Time & Supra Boxes

It’s that time of year again! Daylight Saving Time began on Sunday, March 9, 2025. Please remember that Supra BT LE lockboxes do not adjust for Daylight Saving Time. For agents that have programmed lockbox access hours, the effective access hours on those lockboxes will be one hour later during Daylight Saving Time than the pre-set access hours.


Our Keyboxes come from the factory preset to open between the hours of:

  • 6:00am-9:00pm (Central Standard Time)
  • 7:00am-10:00pm (Daylight Saving Time)


Maximizing Exposure for Energy Efficient Listing Features


Did you know the MLS has an associated document for marketing energy-efficient features of a home? It’s a great way to highlight things like solar panels, green building certifications, and other energy-saving upgrades & appliances. Check it out here!

There are also several features in the MLS that can be used to draw attention to these improvements (here’s where to find them on the profile sheets). Why should you include this information on your listing? Not only can it attract a larger pool of buyers (and potentially increase property value), it is also useful to appraisers when researching comparable sales.

Reminder to Communicate Showing Changes

The security of clients’ properties is a top priority for all of us. If you have a change of plans with regard to the timing of an appointment or who will be showing a property, please communicate this to the listing agent ahead of time – even if the agents are within the same firm.


Accessing a property (or sharing access information) without the seller or listing agent’s permission can result in fines to the showing agent(s) and their broker. We appreciate your cooperation in keeping clients informed & their properties secure!
