Almost all MLS have an option to "export" or "download" and save data from a search of comps to the user’s personal PC. Most agents are not aware that this feature is in place and have not used it previously.

XpertCMA can be configured to import search data exported from almost any MLS in a few minutes. It is just a matter of matching the field names.  We prefer to do it for you, but you could do it yourself from the MLS Control menu.

We can easily configure for any MLS that has a method for it's users to export search files in almost any format. This includes Sandicor, FMLS, NRMLS, Voyager, Paragon, FNIS, MRIS, NETRIS, RMLS, Risco, Fidelity, TREND, TEMPO, REIL, MLXchange, IRES and almost all custom or local systems. We just need to match your field names with XpertCMA, a 5 minute job. Here is what we need to be emailed as an attachment:

This entire procedure should not take more that a few minutes of your time and will save you many hours in the future. Almost all MLS have an option to export and save the data from a search of comps to the user’s personal PC. Most agents are not aware that this feature is in place and have not used it previously.

The common procedure is to perform a normal search for 5-10 comps, either active or sold. Rather that printing, emailing or viewing in various formats one of the options should be to “export” or “save” the data as a text file.. The format options are usually (1) tab-delimited (a .txt file), (2) comma-separated (a .csv file), (3) pipe-delimited (a .cmf file) or (4) Excel (a .xls file). None of these files would normally mean anything to the user and if viewed would not make much sense, however, the file would contain all of the property data for each comp in a readable format by the computer in the right programs.

Most agents have been able to find the “export” option, save the file on their PC, and email it to us. If the file is of the right format we can match your MLS fields with XpertCMA and send you a small file to install to configure your MLS. This is a one time procedure. From that point, you can do a search of up to 20 comps, import them into XpertCMA. The program will immediately analyze all comps, adjust for differences, color code the adjustments and quality sort the comps. The result is awesome.

If you are not able to “export” the file, your MLS should be able to show you the procedure to export an ASCII file from a search. The file you want is for your personal use, not XpertCMA. There is no intellectual property issue. You could use the file in Excel for your own purpose or in XpertCMA which is on your personal PC also. If you have a choice of fields to export, choose “all fields” rather than creating a custom list or ask us which to add to a custom list if no other alternative.
