MLS Number Series Change

MLS Number Series Change

September 2016 –   As you may know, MLS numbers are assigned sequentially as they are entered into the system. In REsearch, listings are currently in the 299XXX-range. In order to minimize confusion among the three MLS systems in Hawaii, the HIS Board of Directors has decided to advance MLS number assignments in REsearch to restart at 600000 once we have reached MLS number 299999.

REsearch now includes a setting that will remove the word wrap feature when viewing the MLS one liner format. What is Word Wrap? Here is an example, notice the display column and agent information. Depending on your computer’s screen size, REsearch will dynamically “stack” lines in order to fit all the information on the screen.
