  • Updating Disclaimer: The existing disclaimer will be updated to add additional protection for our members who add floor plans to their listings.
  • Additional video links: Allowing more videos to showcase your listings, you may now add up to 10 unbranded embedded video links per listing within the Paragon listing entry screen. The video(s) will show up in Paragon Connect, ConnectView under REPORTS, Collab Center, and CollabLink (in email). You will find the embedded video field on the left column of the listing entry screen. View screenshots of the embedded video field.
  • Status change for Coming Soon listings: Coming Soon Active listings can be updated to Pending directly to create an easier workflow for listing agents.
  • Removal of Point Richmond: Point Richmond will be removed from the CITY field but remain in the AREA field to reflect more accurate information.
  • Disclosures in listings: Data in Disclosures link will be removed within one day after status is changed to Sold, Expired, Canceled, and Withdrawn Temporary. A time-saving update for listing agents.
  • Agent 2-Page (New): A new default report which accommodates all information of the listing and has bigger font for easier reading. Learn how to select any report to be the default of your own login.
  • More information from MLSListings: Paragon will be importing all the AREA and School Districts from the South Bay system; making your property search more specific if necessary.
  • Districts and Sub Districts from SFAR: Paragon will be importing all the Districts and Sub Districts from the San Francisco MLS; making your property search more specific if necessary.
  • Multi-Select Integrations available in Paragon Connect:

We’re happy to announce that users can select and take third-party actions on multiple records from Paragon Connect search results. By clicking the overflow menu, you can now see both System options and third-party integrations! Prior to this change, the only option available was Add to Cart

  • Paragon Connect – Accessing your last five (5) searches:

Paragon Connect can now access your last five searches. This is synced with Paragon Classic, so the five searches you see are from either system.

The folder icon now opens a drawer instead of going directly to the load search dialog. The “Load Default Search” option has been moved to this location as well.

Another nice feature is you can either click on the criteria to load the search criteria in the search form, or you can click/tap on the arrow to go directly to the results.

Note:  Accessing a class-based search from the hamburger menu will always load your default search.

  • Preferred Phone number on Paragon Connect Detail Report

On the Paragon Connect detail report, the agent’s phone number displays the office or agent’s phone number based on a configuration. However, there is a user preference in Paragon Classic that allows users to choose which phone number to use for reports, which was being ignored by Paragon Connect. It has been updated to honor that preference. If a user chooses a phone number and checks “Display this phone number…” it will display the selected phone number on the Paragon Connect detail report.

  • Collaboration Center – Change Search radius to an Input Field and Change Default to 1 mile/km

For Contacts who can create their own searches in Collaboration Center, they will now find the Address Search’s Radius field easier to use. We’ve removed the slider and switched it to an input field and changed the default amount from 5 miles to 1 mile. Users can input distances up to 50 miles/80 km.

  • Collaboration Center – Consumer Mortgage Center

We have updated the mortgage calculator. This new tool can provide accurate real-time and historical rate trends for your client.
