Of course no Realtor Property Resource review would be complete without talking about the shortcomings of the program. RPR has not yet integrated with all MLS’ meaning that you may not have access to all of the great features RPR has to offer. If you are using the Realtor Valuation Model from RPR, review the report that it provides because it may not be totally accurate. Some agents have reported the RVM being tens or even hundreds of thousands of dollars off in valuation. Finally, the RPR report can be a bit bulky. Review the RPR report well in advance and take out unnecessary pages and customize it to fit you, your area, and your business.

Overall, RPR supplies various, imperative resources with a mix of technology, communication, and consumer education. If they have an agreement with your MLS you should check out RPR and review it for yourself. Afterall, if you are a REALTOR, it is free for you, so what do you have to loose?
