Simplifying Homeownership: WAV Group Unveils Survey Insights on Property Management Portals
At WAV Group, we were inspired to learn more about homeownership portals because of our own very real need to manage four personal properties.

We also needed a way to memorialize vendors we used for repairs, painting, and landscaping. Additionally, we needed reminders for routine maintenance tasks. Managing one home is challenging enough, but managing four is even more complicated. Who remembers the last time they changed a furnace filter or cleaned out a dryer vent?

Is Doubling the Price for the Same MLS Services Really Open Access?
With the new focus and discussions about offering MLS access to all licensees, due in large part to a series of lawsuits, many associations and MLSs are building out their paths for moving forward to make MLS accessible to all licensees within their state. While many are building pricing strategies that offer MLS services to REALTORS® and licensees either at parity or with a slight member discount to REALTORS®, others are going in the opposite direction.

WAV Group Post-Settlement Survey Reveals restrictive Lockbox Policies Needs to be Reconsidered
Today, local Associations provide lockbox access only to their local members. Some provide 1-day access codes with an additional cost to those outside of their territory.

Two of the three have agreed to provide reciprocal access, yet refuse reciprocal access to the third.. This type of anti-competitive behavior is completely counter to earlier proposed agreements with the DOJ that required statewide lockbox access to all licensees.
