This release introduces a more seamless way to access Paragon Connect listing workflows directly from within Paragon.

  • Listing Input Module: A new workflow to Paragon Connect within the LISTINGS module.
  • Extended Remarks in Spreadsheet: View and compare more listing details directly in spreadsheet view, making it easier to analyze large datasets without leaving the experience.
  • Enhanced Agent Listing Preview Email: Agents can now get a richer, more visual snapshot of listing activity directly from the Agent Listing Preview email.
  • Listing Inventory Dashboard: The Listing Inventory dashboard now provides a more insightful starting point with additional default widgets, helping agents quickly understand listing performance and priorities from day one.
  • Print Listing Details: Create a polished PDF of any listing without leaving Collaboration Center. The new Print option provides a simple and intuitive way to generate professional listing documents in just a few clicks.

Review all of the enhancements here.

Please call our MLS Tech Support at 925.730.7100 or email techsupport@bayeast.org if you have any questions.

The Bay East Board will consider a proposed amendment to the Association’s Bylaws that would reduce the size of the Board of Directors from 13 members to 12 and eliminate the Platinum Affiliate Director position, effective January 2027.

The Board regularly reviews membership representation to ensure appropriate governance within the ever-changing real estate industry. The proposed bylaws change envisions a smaller Board of Directors focused on REALTOR® and Multiple Listing Service policies and programs. It also recognizes that Platinum Affiliate membership has significantly declined since the Affiliate Director position was created. The Affiliates now make up about 2.3% of the total Bay East membership. 

 The valuable role the Platinum Affiliates have in the success of our members remains unchanged and will be supported through existing volunteer leadership, networking and partnership opportunities. 

In accordance with Bay East Bylaws, members are being provided advance notice prior to the Board’s intent to consider the bylaws change.

Looking for an event to volunteer at during NAR’s Volunteer Week? Join Bay East President-Elect Viviana Cherman on June 2 at Kids Against Hunger in Pleasanton (1258 Quarry Ln #H, Pleasanton). Registration cost $20 and you’ll help package nutritious, life-saving meals for children facing hunger both in the U.S. and around the world. Space is limited, so reserve your spot and be part of something truly meaningful.

Bay East is proud to join the National Association of Realtors® in recognizing Realtor Volunteer Days, from May 30th through June 7th.

This special week is an opportunity to celebrate the meaningful service Realtors® provide to uplift their communities encourage even more members to get involved. Whether you already volunteer with a local nonprofit, community organization, school, or neighborhood group, your time and effort make a real difference.

At Bay East, we want to highlight the many ways our members give back. If you currently volunteer, we’d love to feature you on our social media channels with a short spotlight about:

  • The organization you volunteer with
  • Why you chose to get involved
  • What you enjoy most about volunteering
  • How others can get involved too

Volunteering is one of the most powerful ways to strengthen our communities and make a lasting impact. If you’re already giving your time to a cause you care about, we invite you to share your story with us and help inspire other members to do the same.

Let’s celebrate the power of service and showcase the incredible ways Bay East members are making a difference!

Bay East Offices and Tech Support will be unavailable on Monday (May 25) in observance of Memorial Day.

Inventory, units sold and pricing information for all East Bay real estate markets are available online by clicking: 

https://bayeast.org/community-info/community-info/ and clicking on the city of interest.

We’d like to share an important update regarding the tool, HomeLight Listing Management System (formerly Disclosures.io). As part of our annual review of vendor agreements, a decision has been made not to renew this service offering.

Please note:

To ensure you do not lose access to information and disclosure packets stored within your existing HomeLight account, please complete the required account setup steps before May 18, 2026.

  • Go to https://disclosures.io/auth/create-password-eastbay 
  • Enter your email address and click Next 
  • You will get a confirmation email from HomeLight to set up a password

Once completed, you should be able to log in directly to your existing HomeLight account with your new sign-in to see all the disclosures you created before.

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us at mlsservices@bayeast.org or call us at 925.730.7100
