Pillar 9™ Tech Tips

By CREB®
In the lead up to CREB®’s migration to Pillar 9™, we’re reaching out to provide a head start for our members, so that everyone is ready to transition to the new MLS® System.

Check out the tech tips below to learn more about the Pillar 9™ Matrix™ system. 


Tech Tip 11: Customizing your profile

Get ready to set yourself apart from the crowd. There are a few things you’ll want to configure in the new MLS® System before working with your clients, and customizing your Matrix™ profile is one of them.

Watch this video from Pillar 9™ to learn how to set-up your profile, which includes:

  • Information;
  • Header & footer;
  • CMA cover sheet;
  • Email signature; and
  • Portal profile.

Tech Tip 12: Downloading CMAs as PDFs

The fine art of pricing is actually a science.

Of course, we’re talking about the Comparative Market Analysis (CMA), which is perhaps the most intriguing number crunching exercise in the entire real estate transaction.

Please refer to the step-by-step process for downloading CMAs as PDFs.


Tech Tip 13: Custom search displays

Customization is key when it comes to running searches.

In the Pillar 9™ MLS® System, members can create and edit custom displays. Click here to learn the step-by-step process.


Tech Tip 14: IDX Setup

Catch and keep clients on your website by streaming MLS® Listings via IDX.

The new Pillar 9™ platform is not vastly different from the one we use now, but some aspects are different. Your current IDX data is something that will not covert and you will have to set-up post-migration.

Please refer to the step-by-step process located in this CREB®Link News article.


Tech Tip 15: Vanity Domain Setup

No personal website? No worries! The Pillar 9™ MLS® System allows agents to have a web presence without developing their own website. These are known as Agent Web Pages. 

If you currently have a vanity domain, it will not automatically covert and you will have to set-up post-migration.

Please refer to the step-by-step process located in this CREB®Link News article
