2010 Board of Directors Planning

This week the 2010 Board of Directors will be planning for next years plans and goals. This is the planning for our 2010 Strategic Plan for the REALTOR and Affiliate membership. I am extremely interested in any ideas that come from the membership and any ideas that you feel the Board should entertain and develop for the coming year.

We have all received the "Calls for Action" from NAR, but we must also remember that all Real Estate is local. That is why good ideas will always be needed and well received to make sure that OKCMAR will always work to better our member base and to maintain a strong and viable market.

I would love it if I could access mls on my macs without using parallels or bootcamp which depletes half or more of the hard drive to run just Internet explorer. :)

Hi there! This isn't Dave Moeller; it's Dawn from the board offices. Actually, that is an MLS issue, the MLS Board of Directors meets for their planning in early February. I think Dave was looking for association (OKCMAR) suggestions.

HOWEVER, Marketlinx (our MLS software provider- Tempo 5) has been working for the past 18 months to move its software to a flash program. What this means to you is that it will be Mac compatible (I too am a Mac User and can't wait!) We have been told to expect the upgrade before the end of this year.

Most MLS software is not MAC compatible, vendors built their programs around the widely used MS products. However, with the onset of Apple Ipods and I phones more and more of America is switching to Macs. For REALTORS the graphic quality is outstanding and that is why so many REALTORS are switching to it.

Also our kids have been raised on it- Macs are and have been for the last decade the computers of choice for schools. That too has added to the motivation for MLS vendors to tailor their programs to both Mac and Microsoft.

For the last two years I have been campaigning our vendor for this change (and not just me the other Assn Execs too) every meeting, every time I have their ear. We are working hard to force this change and it looks like our vendors finally get it.

We will have announcements everywhere when we get the functionality we have been demanding. So just keep reading your MLS message of the day and this blog. Thank you so much for your comments!
