3. MLS Service Packages
(effective July 1, 2016)
During the past two decades, HAR has carefully tracked developments in technology,
consumer experiences, agent productivity and broker profitability. Based on this
research, HAR developed an extraordinary package of products and services to make
our members successful. HAR is nationally recognized for its commitment to provide its
members with the most innovative and productive tools in the industry. This effort
continues today, and we remain committed to providing leading edge tools into the
future.
Since 1997, all tools developed by HAR have been incorporated into a single MLS
package without raising MLS fees.
National industry politics and federal law have resulted in NAR policy changes that
require local MLSs to unbundle MLS services. Effective July 1, 2016, HAR will comply
with these new NAR policies by providing an additional package of services.
All MLS Subscribers will continue to receive those services defined by NAR as
"substantially related to the function of a MLS" in a MLS Standard package.
A new MLS Platinum (optional) package of services has been developed by HAR
designed to drive leads to your business and maximize your marketing exposure.
MLS Subscribers who choose to take advantage of the lead generation, agent promotion
and listing promotion services will need to subscribe to the additional MLS Platinum
service.

6. At HAR, our goal is to continuously improve the value you get
from the MLS Platinum package by adding exciting new tools.
We have upgraded the MLS Platinum package to include the
newly redesigned Agent & Company Website with an
integrated Virtual Office Website tool (VOW). We’ve redesigned
your current sites and have given them both a slick, modern
design coupled with a powerful property search engine. The
VOW feature will also enable your registered customers and
clients to view Premium content such as Days on Market,
Property History Reports and Sold Price for nearby listings.
Your existing websites were automatically upgraded already
