Members were first advised in NewsReal in early November, that the term “Master Bedroom” will be changed to “Primary Bedroom” on all FVREB MLS® listings. This change follows the recommendation made by the Real Estate Standards Organization, a not-for-profit organization that works to create consistent and effective data standards for people and organizations involved in real estate transactions across North America.
The effective date of this change is Friday, December 9, 2022. The system update will begin on the evening of Thursday, December 8. Users may experience some slowness starting at 8:00 p.m. for approximately 4 – 6 hours for the duration of the system update.
Members are advised the data input form on WEBForms® will change, so you will not be able to duplicate previous transactions which used the old Data Input form. Additionally, the criteria for client searches will need to change from “Master Bedroom search” to “Primary Bedroom search.”
