If you’re not using zipForm® MLS-Connect, it’s a shame because you’re missing out on a great time saver.

What is MLS-Connect? It allows you to import data from any listing that has been on the MLS in the past, right onto your forms in zipForm®. This data includes items like property address, tax information, etc.

When you have a form open in zipForm®, simply click the MLS-Connect button, fill out the MLS-Connect screen and import the data onto your forms. It’s that simple! This data will remain in your zipForm® transaction, so as you add additional forms, those forms will be populated with this data as well. It’s easy and costs nothing.

Who’s using it? Not nearly enough people are using this great add-on to your zipForm® member benefit:
