Columbus REALTORS® is proud to announce the all newColumbusRealtors.com. Launched May 4, the Association’s website underwent a complete overhaul. The new design is sleek and sophisticated and features a plethora of bells and whistles to make the visitor experience easily navigable, informational and fun!
The home page still features the latest news, upcoming events and quick links for both members and as well as home buyers and sellers, but it looks and feels completely different.
Simple top-level navigation features hover dropdown menus to provide quick access to the information you seek.
Hover over any day of the calendar to see the schedule for that day. Then click to get more details.
Search – In addition to articles and web pages, you can now use the Search to find events and forms.
Foreign language – Visitors can now search for REALTORS® who speak a language other than English.
News you can use – Find the latest Association articles, housing reports and flip through the last year of In Contract magazines right on your desktop!
Our new Social Wall features all the latest posts from our social media channels! (This is one of our personal favorites of all the new features!)
The Classes & Events section allows users to search by calendar or list view and to select a category—classes, events or meetings.
Event registration – The new registration process has been improved to allow greater ease in registering more than one person as well as options for early bird registration and to purchase tables when applicable.
Logging in – The new site will handle the login process in three different ways.
REALTORS® will use their license number and MLS Office ID (5 digits) to register for classes/events and view Member Only pages such as forms and alerts. Affiliate and Sustaining members will create their own username and password. Guests (non-members) will be able to register for classes/events by providing some necessary information, but no requirement to create an account.
Online Store – Although the online store also has a fresh look and platform, orders will not be taken online until the building is open again (based on the Governor’s directive).
