Remine will not be a Bay East member benefit product effective August 29
Bay East continuously reviews all products and services offered to our subscribers to ensure we provide the most value and offer the best return on the investment of our subscribers. As part of this review and a very low adoption rate, Remine will no longer be provided as a member benefit product.
Most of the same functionalities are provided through other products we offer, such as Paragon MLS, Homesnap, and CRS Tax.
Using the “Tour Group” field when creating a tour report may miss listings from other MLSs.
If you use the “Tour Group” field to run your tour report, you may miss listings on tour from the data share MLSs. The “Tour Group” field within Paragon is tied to the “Area” field; however, the data share MLSs (MetroList, SFAR, BAREIS, and MLSListings ) tours are not. Bay East is working with its MLS vendor on alternatives to incorporate data share listings into the Tour Group field. In the meantime, please use the “CITY” field when searching for listings on tour.
Here’s an example for creating a tour list for Fremont, Union City, and Newark:
- Type in the Date Range
- Tour/Open House Status: choose Tour
- City: select FREMONT, UNION CITY, NEWARK
