With the new Keystone, you can add more listings in less time! Thanks to a few intuitive, user-friendly updates and enhancements, we think you will find the new Keystone easy to use right from the start. Here are 5 ½ ways entering listings just got easier.
5 ½ Time-Saving Features of New Keystone!
1. Keystone Navigation is faster now that all of the sections are displayed on one page. Plus, you’ll save time by not having to click “save and continue” to input your listing. 2. New real-time “red alerts” let you know at a glance how many mandatory fields you have left to fill in before you can submit your listing. Also, simply clicking on those alerts will take you directly to the sections that need your attention. 3. The process to select rooms and add levels has changed. Instead of having to search through a list of all rooms, you can select which rooms you want to add and give specific details on each. 4. Keystone can now automatically save your work for you. Use your preferences to set auto-save intervals from once every minute to once every 15 minutes. 5. New keyboard shortcuts let you move through the listing fields even quicker than clicking. You can tab, type and Ctrl+I your way through Keystone easily.

Reverse Mortgages Topic of Women’s Council of REALTORS® Breakfast The Greater Capital Area chapter of the Women’s Council of REALTORS® (GCA WCR) discussed leadership at their monthly meeting on June 19 at the Norbeck Country Club. Mary Antoun, CEO of the Maryland Association of REALTORS® (MAR) shared a few pearls of wisdom on leadership given to her by a former MAR president, Arthur “Otts” Davis III. These simple tenets include: • Let us train our minds to desire what the situation demands. • Never listen to your voice at your lowest moment.
“Agency” Cast: L-R: Diane Hayes, ReMax Premiere Selections; Mitch Morris, First Heritage Mortgage; Hildy Pollard, Weichert; David Palmer, ReMax Premiere Selections
• Gentlemen, we are out of money; I’m afraid we’re going to have to think! • Question to a blind man: Is there anything worse than losing your sight? The blind man replied, “losing your vision.” In addition, Broker David Palmer from ReMax Premiere Selections performed a skit on “Agency” with a team of able thespians – Diane Hayes from ReMax Premiere Solutions, Mitch Morris from First Heritage Mortgage, and Hildy Pollard from Weichert. David and his “cast” excellently depicted the different types of agency scenarios, and reminded the audience what REALTORS® should do when confronted with these types of situations. Join GCA WCR for its next meeting on July 17, where Affordable Housing will be the topic. Monthly meetings are held at the Norbeck Country Club in Rockville on the 3rd Wednesday of each month from 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. For information regarding membership and programs, please contact Gwen Henderson at Gwen.Henderson@lnf.com
