REALTOR Edition Integrations


GrowthZone's Real Estate Edition provides features required by most National Association of REALTORs Associations for managing their real estate data. The features include an additional tab on contact records to store real estate data, data sync management, and other necessary resources. The software supports integration to NRDS, various MLS, and Lock-box solutions.

Upon installation of the software, you will work with your on-boarding project manager to configure the settings necessary to seamlessly integrate to the various solutions.

NRDS Integration


The GrowthZone integration with the National Association of REALTORS’ NRDS database provides association staff an easy way to manage their contacts’ NRDS data. Select data entered or changed in GrowthZone is automatically pushed to NRDS, thereby updating agent and office records in NRDS. Data is pushed every ten minutes to ensure your records in NRDS are always up to date.

NRDS Integration Initial Setup


Upon installation of the software, you will work with your on-boarding project manager to configure the settings necessary to seamlessly integrate to NRDS.

NRDS - Working with Offices


Although Offices are not "members" of the Realtor organization (the Realtor association is an individual member organization), the Office record must exist because each member must be linked to an office. This follows how licensure works in each state. Also, the office name, address, phone, etc is stored once in the office record so if an office changes the POE does not have to change that information in every agent record.

The POE for the Primary association of the Office can add or change an office for that association:

  • Add tells NRDS to Add the record. If NRDS finds an office record already exists with the same Office ID it will process the Add as a Change without the necessity of sending the record again. There is one exception to this rule: if the Office Name in the Add is different than the Office Name in the existing record then NRDS will reject the record and require that the record be sent as a Change rather than an Add.
  • Change tells NRDS to Change the record. If NRDS finds that an office record does not already exist by checking the Office ID it will process the Change as an Add without the necessity of sending another record.

IMPORTANT! NRDS requires that the Office DR NRDS ID be sent when you are adding a new office. This requires that the DR exist in the NRDS database as an Agent. However, when adding a new office AND a new agent to NRDS, the agent's NRDS record will not be present yet. So it will reject the office and the agent update.

NRDS recommends the following process for handling this situation:

  1. Add the office using the NRDS ID of one of your staff members as the Office DR NRDS ID.
  2. Add the agent that will become the DR for the office, and sync to NRDS.
  3. After both the office and the agent have been added to NRDS you will then be able to update the Office DR NRDS ID in GrowthZone and this change will be sent to NRDS.

Search NRDS Database for an Agent

Best practice when working with your agents is to first search the NRDS database to verify whether a record exists for the agent. By searching the database, you ensure that there is no duplication of records. Additionally, by searching NRDS you can determine if the member is active in NRDS at another Association and they will need to add in their Association as the secondary.

  1. For the desired agent, click the Real Estate tab.
    Search agent.jpg
  2. Click the Search NRDS/Add Member button.

  4. Click Search NRDS. If results are found, they will be displayed on screen.
  • If this is a new agent (has not had a NAR membership previously), and you are the POE, no matching agent should be found. click the Create New button to add the new agent to the NRDS database. See Add an Agent (Primary).
  • If a matching agent is found in NRDS, and you are not the POE enter this agent as a secondary record. See Add an Agent - Secondary.
  • If a matching agent is found in NRDS, but is inactive. Do NOT sync the agent with NRDS. You will need to go to the NRDS database and setup the agent appropriately.

One Row.png

NOTE: When adding an agent, if NRDS finds a member record already exists with the same Member ID or License it will process the Add as a Change without the necessity of sending another record. There are two exceptions to this rule: if the Name in the add is different than the Name in the existing record, if the License in the add is different from the License in the existing record. Then NRDS will reject the record and require that the record be sent as a Change rather than an Add. Review the Event Log to ensure that there were no validation errors.
Add Agent (Primary) Additional Information

Additional information about your agents can be tracked in GrowthZone. This information is not required, but if populated will be synchronized to NRDS. NOTE: Only the POE can add/update additional agent information.

  1. For the desired agent, click the Real Estate tab.
  2. Click the Cp orange pencil.jpg in the NRDS Additional Information section. NOTE: If you are NOT the POE for this agent, you are not authorized to add/change the additional information and the Cp orange pencil.jpg will not be available.
    Agent add info.jpg
  3. Enter the desired information. See Agent Data sent to NRDS (Primary) for detailed descriptions of the fields.
  4. Click Done. The updates will be sent to NRDS automatically with no further interaction on your part.

Change/Update an Agent (Primary)


If you are the POE for an agent you can change/update profile and NRDS information via GrowthZone. When Sync With NRDS is enabled on the Real Estate tab, changes to any of the fields described in Agent Data sent to NRDS (Primary) will trigger a synch to NRDS. All fields are sent, not just those that have been changed.

One Row.png

NOTE: NRDS will not process a change on an inactive member (Status of Inactive, Terminated or Deceased). If you want to change the agent’s record you must first change the member back to active or provisional within the NRDS database.

Change an Agent's NRDS Status (Primary)


An agent's status can be updated within GrowthZone, and synchronized to NRDS. Agent statuses include:

  • Active
  • Inactive indicates that the member left voluntarily, in good standing. They may have decided not to renew their membership or may have simply resigned or retired from the business.
  • Terminate indicates that the member was dropped because they did not meet an outstanding duty or obligation. This includes an unfulfilled code of ethics violation, hearing, outstanding arbitration obligation or not taking the COE course. In other words, this member did not leave in good standing. Choosing to simply not renew their membership would not fit in this category.
  • Suspend was added to NRDS for the specific purpose of tracking members who had not taken their COE course by December 31 of each quadrennial. If a member does not take the COE course by December 31, 2012 the association must suspend that member, and by March 1 must terminate the member if they have not taken the course. Therefore there should be no members with status S in NRDS after March 1.
  • Provisional status is available for associations who have adopted the Provisional bylaw. It allows you to enter a member into NRDS with a Member Type of REALTOR®/REALTOR® Associate and a Status of Provisional even before they have met all the requirements for orientation, etc. NAR will provide all services to these members (magazines, realtor.org, etc.) as they are considered REALTORS®/REALTOR® Associates with all rights and privileges.

Any update to the agent's status will trigger a CHANGE transaction to NRDS. To update an agent's NRDS status:

  1. Select the agent's Real Estate tab.
    NRDS agent.jpg
  2. Click the Cp orange pencil.jpg in the NRDS Information section. NOTE: If you are NOT the POE for this agent, you are not authorized to change this information and the Cp orange pencil.jpg will not be available.
    Agent NRDS Info.jpg
  3. Ensure that Sync With NRDS check-box is selected.
  4. Select the desired Status from the list.
  5. Click Done.

Once you have saved, a change transaction is triggered. All fields described in Agent Data sent to NRDS (Primary) will be sent to NRDS within ten minutes, no additional interaction is required on your part.

Secondary Agent Records


The Agent Secondary record is used to store supplemental, or secondary records for a member. A member is in NRDS only once with one NRDS ID but you can link many secondary records to one member. The secondary record is used to indicate a member’s secondary associations, secondary offices, secondary licenses, etc. The Secondary record allows you to define additional relationships this agent may have to other offices, within an office, or other associations. There is no limit on the number of supplemental records attached to a member. Best practice when adding a secondary record, if the secondary record in NOT a secondary record for an agent for which you are POE, is to search NRDS to bring back data from NRDS for the record.

Data Sent to NRDS for Secondary Agent Records


The information below is sent to NRDS for secondary records. During synchronization All information is sent, but note the fields that are required. The data you enter will be dependent on the type of secondary record you are sending.

Field Name Description Data format Required
Real Estate Tab
NRDS ID The member's unique 9-digit NRDS ID. The member must exist in NRDS and be an active member in order to add a secondary record. 9 Numeric X
Office ID Required. The Supplemental record is used to indicate any other Offices where a member works in addition to the ‘core’ Office in the Member record. If you are using this Supplemental record to indicate a member’s Secondary association, additional License, etc. and the Office is still the same as the one in their core Member record, select the same office id from the list. If you are using this Supplemental record to indicate another Office where this member is affiliated, enter the other office ID. All offices to which the agent is associated in your GrowthZone database will be available for selection. 9 Numeric X
Type Required. Use this Supplemental record to indicate that the member has a different Member Type (usually in another Office or another Association).
If you are using this Supplemental record to indicate Secondary associations, secondary offices, etc. and the Member Type is still the same as in the member’s core Member record, enter the same Member Type here.
4 Alpha X
License The Secondary record can be used to indicate that the member has a different License Number (usually in another Office or another Association). You will be able to select a license from the list, or add a new license on the fly. Drop-down Choice  
Status Required. Use this field to indicate the Status of the Secondary record. For example, you set up a supplemental record to indicate the member worked at another Office. When that is no longer true, you would set the Status of this record to I (Inactive). Again, this Status relates ONLY to this particular secondary record 1 Alpha X
Member Subclass Used in conjunction with Member Type by many associations. Again, you would use this in the same manner as Member Type to indicate supplemental information. 4 Alpha  
Local Join Date If using this record to add on a Secondary Association to the member, enter the date that the member joined this secondary association. 8 Date  
Billing Discount Used in conjunction with the Realtor Electronic Commerce Network - Dues Billing module. The EC Invoice allows an association to set up a discount applicable to members of a certain group. For this supplemental record attached to this member at this association, enter Y if the member is in that special discount group. 1 Alpha  

Add a Secondary Agent Record


The approach used to add a secondary record will depend on whether the agent currently exists in your GrowthZone database, with a valid NRDS ID.

  1. On the agent's Real Estate tab, click the Cp orange pencil.jpg icon in the Secondary Record section.
  2. Click Sync to NRDS.
  3. Enter the NRDS information. The fields indicated by an asterisk are required for a secondary (supplemental) record. See Data Sent to NRDS for Secondary Records for further information about these fields.

  3. Click the Cp orange pencil.jpg icon in the Secondary Members section.
    • Click Sync to NRDS.
  4. Enter the NRDS information. The fields indicated by an asterisk are required for a secondary (supplemental) record. See Data Sent to NRDS for Secondary Records for further information about these fields.

NRDS Education Records


Every 4 years, in a set cycle, every Realtor and Realtor Associate must take the NAR Code of Ethics course. This Education record can be added by any POE. They do not have to have a primary or secondary relationship with the member. Because members could take an education course at any association, this is the one record that can be added by any POE to any member. GrowthZone currently provides the ability to track agent's Code of Ethics (COE) training. Synchronization of the education records is made to NRDS within 10 minutes of the addition or update of the records.

Data sent to NRDS for Code of Ethics


The table below describes the Code of Ethics fields that are sent to NRDS.

Field Name Description Format Required
NRDS ID The 9-digit unique member ID of the member. Note: The Member must be active (A or P) or Suspended (S).  9 Numeric  X
Education Course Code Unique course code assigned by the sponsoring or licensing association. Once the Group Code has been selected, use this field to enter the specific course code.  
COE Course: For the Code of Ethics course, this should always be COEC. If the POE is entering a new member orientation COE course, it should be COEN
Drop-down choice X
Education Course Number Assigned by the sponsoring or licensing Association.

COE Course: If this is for a COE course, it should always be the year followed by the cycle. 
If the course was in 2012 for Cycle 3, it should be 2012C3. If the course was in 2013 for Cycle 4, it should be 2013C4, etc. 
Several POE reports reply on the Course Number following these standards so always be sure to use this format for the COE course.   

NOTE: if entering the course for new members, using the year as the Course Number is acceptable.
15 Alpha X
Ethics Training Date Date course was completed. For one day courses, use this field for the course date.  COE Course: For the COE course, this should be the date they completed the course. 8 Date  X

Add/Update Code of Ethics Training

NAR ECommerce

ECommerce supports the processing of membership dues splits automatically. When a member pays their dues, GrowthZone will sync with ECommerce to divide the amount according to predefined settings and passes the correct share to each of the local, state, and national associations.

The setup of the ECommerce payment processing account in the GrowthZone software is done by support or an onboarding project manager. The following pieces of information will be needed for setup:

  • Association ID
  • User ID
  • Password

Important Notes

  • GrowthZone only supports splits at the time of payment. For example: You are unable to use ECommerce to process monthly membership payments and then send a lump sum annually to state and national.
  • ECommerce will support up to 6 destination bank accounts, if just one account is being used, the splits will not need to be configured.
  • There are many specific rules & regulations for ECommerce. Please contact NAR with questions.
  • GrowthZone supports creating refunds for memberships that include splits. However, the refund will autodebit ALL of the refunded amount from the local association. This is because NAR does not support autodebitting other associations; it will be up to the local association to contact the others (e.g. State and Nat’l) to recoup those funds. Questions/Concerns should be directed to NAR.
  • For questions about rates and fees, please contact NAR. GrowthZone does not charge additional transaction fees on top of NAR’s fees.

MLS Integration


GrowthZone offers a data integration with various MLS Solutions. This is a push-type integration which sends changes to contact information from GrowthZone to MRED’s MLS vendor, DynaConnections. The sync happens (when there are contact info changes) around 4 times hourly between the hours of 8 am (CST) and 8pm (CST), seven days a week. The purpose of the integration to an MLS is to establish an account for the member, to establish the member's access level within the MLS (defined by the agent's Member Type, and to track the member's status.

Currently, GrowthZone integrates to MRED and Corelogic.

MRED Integration


MRED Integration - Initial Setup


On initial installation of your software, GrowthZone will configure the initial connection to MRED. You will then be able to manage your agent's participation in MLS from the agent's Real Estate tab. GrowthZone will sync to MRED any additions or changes made to the MLS information on this tab. Records are synchronized every hour. MRED Office and Agent Files created, are zipped into one file and sent every hour to the FTP site.

Initial setup involves providing the FTP URL, Path, User Name and Password. This information is provided by MRED.

Initial Setup Considerations:

  • You have the option to enable Use Membership To Determine MLS Status. Selecting this option will automate updates to MLS status. For example, if you drop an agent, who has an active MLS status, the status will automatically be updated to Inactive. Important: this is designed to work when your members have only one membership.
  • You will decide if you wish to use the MLS ID Generator. If you select this option, a "Get MLS ID" button is available to you when assigning your MLS ID's. Enabling this option will prevent duplication of IDs.

Upon initial installation of the system custom fields will be created for agent and office security levels.

Corelogic Matrix Integration - Initial Setup


GrowthZone's team will configure the initial integration to CoreLogic Matrix.

Considerations:

  • You can elect to use a member's status as the MLS status. For example: If this option is selected, and you drop a member, the MLS status will automatically be updated to Inactive. NOTE: This only functions when a member has one and only one membership.
