FlexMLS Power Workshop 1
Searches, maps & client portals. Laptops open, and you log off with a live client portal.
About this workshop
Use the MLS you already pay for
Most agents use about ten percent of FlexMLS. This is two hours of pure click paths, no lecture. Pick one real buyer at the start, and everything you build is built for them and live when you log off.
Searches that respect a weekend
One search order every time, label quirks like MSTR, NOT logic, and the Rule of Twenty: under 20 results or keep narrowing.
Maps that can't be misspelled
Draw, name, save and edit polygons, and use county, zip and school-zone overlays the right way.
A portal that replaces the Zillow email
Hide, recommend, star and rate. Your buyer picks Saturday's route, and you watch it happen.
Alerts that don't spam
Preview mode, status triggers, and the six-hour reality behind "daily" subscription emails.
The 2-hour run of show
Five labs, two hours
Everyone builds along on their own laptop. Nobody watches from the back row.
Open · The most expensive email
Why ten Zillow links cost you hours, and the one real buyer you'll build for today.
Lab 1 · Search anatomy + Add Field
Data source, template, status, price, type, location, size, Add Field. Plus the price-ceiling trick and getting under 20.
Lab 2 · Maps, overlays & polygons
Draw and save the neighborhood you work most, read school zones honestly, and pull a nine-second comp set.
Lab 3 · Contacts & the client portal
Full contact records, your portal intro email, and a real invitation sent before the lab ends.
Lab 4 · Subscriptions & templates
Attach a subscription, write searches that explain themselves, and match alert timing to the buyer.
Lab 5 · Market numbers + AI
Pull your neighborhood's absorption rate, median days on market and sold-to-list ratio. Then watch AI answer from live MLS data, and check it.
You leave with: a reusable search, a saved polygon, a live portal with a real buyer inside it, an attached subscription, your neighborhood's market numbers, and a 30-day card to keep the habits going.

Take it with Power Workshop 2, the listing-side session. The two don't overlap: this one serves buyers, that one hunts listings.

Workshop questions
Does this workshop count for CE credit?
No. This is a hands-on skills workshop, not a continuing education course, so it carries no CE credit. Need elective hours? See our TREC-approved classes.
Do I need my own FlexMLS login?
Yes. You build along in your own MLS, so you'll need an active FlexMLS login. It's built for agents in FlexMLS markets like East Tennessee REALTORS®, NETAR and the Great Smoky Mountains Association of REALTORS®.
I'm brand new. Is this too advanced?
Not at all. We start with search basics and build up. Experienced agents usually find the polygons, portal workflow and market numbers are where the time savings live.
Can you run this for my office?
Yes. Because it isn't a CE class, it can be taught right in your office. Request a private workshop.
