Circle of Excellence
It is hard to believe that 2010 is shortly coming to a close. That means it is Oust about time to start thinking about the
Circle of Excellence report. This is a tool that the NJMLS provides to make it easier for you to compile what you need
to qualify for the Circle of Pxcellence. Here's how to use it:
R@n the XL Paragon Desktop, click on Toolkit and then choose Circle of Excellence.
RPnter the dates you would like to include in the report, your Agent ID, and whether you would like to include leased
properties.
RClick Search.
Your results will consist of a list of your closed transactions with the MLS number, address, buyer's name, date sold, listing
o"ce, listing agent, the o"ce and agent that worked with the buyer, and the value of the sale towards the
Circle of Pxcellence.
Please note: this is also a good time to make sure that you've checked your inventory to determine if you're current on
reporting your closed listings. If you have any questions about these status updates, please give us a call soonW
Reminder About Short Sales
Copyright Protection of Photos
Although a Short Sale may have some obstacles that
distinguish it from other real estate transactions, you are
still required to follow the NJMLS reporting policies that
govern all listings.
NJMLS strongly suggests that when you have
taken the photos on a listing, please have them
copyrighted. Although other brokers are not
permitted to copy your photos, if you want
protection under the law, you will need to have
them copyrighted. @ur policy states:
First, you must disclose a Short Sale in XL Paragon in all
Remarks sections of the listing, alerting buyers that this
is a !potential short sale and subOect to lender approval.$
!Although no notice is legally required for a
photo to be copyrighted, if a copyright owner
wants legal protection under copyright
infringement laws, the owner must register the
work at the copyright o"ce. Registration gives
some litigation and damage bene#ts.$
Second, when both the seller and the potential buyer have
signed a contract, the listing should be marked as ARIP,
indicating that it is in Attorney Review. You have 2F
hours to make this change in the system.
When the listing is out of Attorney Review, it should be
marked Gnder Contract within 2F hours.
@"ces choosing to watermark their photos must
standardiDe the watermark on images uploaded
to the NJMLS system. The watermark must
include the copyright symbol %if the photo is
registered&, followed by the owner's initials
%owner of the photo&, and the year the photo was
taken. As an example, the copyright on a photo
could look like this:
Remember, you have I days from closing to mark a
listing as sold.
Lead Paint Disclosure
Please remember if a property was built prior to 1ZL8, you
are required by law to provide a Lead Paint disclosure
form for signature by the Seller, which should be made
available to cooperating agents. An easy way to do this is
to add it as an Associated Document when you enter the
listing into XL Paragon. If you already have listings in the
system and need to add this as an Associated Document,
you can do so by choosing Manage Documents in
Listing Maintenance. If you have any questions, please
call us for further instructions.

If you would like additional information about
copyrighting, please call the U.S. Copyright
