Creating a Real Estate Report Card
To create a Real Estate Report Card, follow the steps below:
- The Real Estate Report Card page will open and display a search bar. Use the search bar to create a report based on address, county or ZIP code and select the area you’re looking for in the dropdown.
- Your Real Estate Report Card will be generated. By default, the information shown is based on the median home price in the area. You can also enter your own custom home price which will adjust the appreciation numbers accordingly.
To change the Price:
- Select Edit under Options>Price on the left hand side of the screen.
- Type the price you would like to use in the text box. To change it back to the defaulted median price, click Use median price next to Home Price.
- Click Save.
To change the Forecasted Appreciation:
- Select Edit under Options>Forecasted Appreciation on the left hand side of the screen.
- Select which forecasted appreciation model you would like to use.
- Click Save.
Adding Co-branding:
You can also add a co-branded real estate agent to the report.
To add a real agent’s co-branding to the Real Estate Report Card:
- Click on Edit under Options>Co-branding.
- Click on the drop down under Co-brand to select the agent.
- Alternatively, you can click Add new co-branding partner to add a new real estate agent.
- Select either Display Left or Display Right to determine how you want the co-branding displayed on the report.
- Click Save.
Please note: To ensure you are RESPA compliant, you must charge your realtor $20 per year for co-branded marketing. For your convenience, we have provided an invoice you can download and use in the Co-Brand Settings on MBS Highway.
