AUGUST VIDEO MESSAGE
SEPTEMBER VIDEO MESSAGE
Hello RSCK Family:
The National Association of REALTORS® (NAR) has once again dedicated September as REALTOR® Safety Month.
This month, we hope to raise awareness about the potential risks and dangers that real estate agents may face while on the job and provide our members with the necessary resources to stay safe.
One of these resources is a FREE member benefit, The FOREWARN safety app. FOREWARN is a prime example of how technology can aid in keeping us safe. Just last month, one of our members had an encounter with a potential customer that raised some red flags. Thanks to the agent's quick thinking, they searched the individual's phone number in the FOREWARN app. The app revealed various charges against the person, which gave the agent time to prepare for any future interactions with them. We highly encourage all RSCK members to take advantage of this member benefit.

As REALTORS® you all play a vital role in the home-buying process, but we all know your job can also be risky. By dedicating September as REALTOR® Safety Month, NAR is taking an important step in ensuring that real estate professionals have the knowledge and tools they need to stay safe while on the job.
At our Association, member safety is a top priority. If you ever find yourself in a situation where you feel unsafe while conducting business, please tell someone, use Forewarn, and prioritize your own safety.
Stay safe out there,
Braden R. McCurdy

more than 2400 members. Our membership is composed of residential and commercial REALTORS®, brokers, salespeople, property managers, appraisers, counselors, and others who

concern for their clients. Information regarding the REALTOR® Code of Ethics can be found here.
The RSCK Mission
To enhance the ability of our members to achieve success in an ethical and professional manner, advocate for and be the voice of the real estate industry in South Central Kansas.
SCK MLS:
About South Central Kansas MLS
South Central Kansas MLS (SCK MLS) was formed in 2004 and has been a trusted source for the most complete and accurate real estate information for South Central Kansas. SCK MLS covers a service area of 5 counties—Sedgwick, Butler, Harvey, Cowley, and Sumner. SCK MLS provides authorized participants a Multiple Listing Service (MLS) and a Commercial Information Exchange (CIE). SCK MLS currently provides services to approximately 2,500 real estate participants and subscribers.
SCK MLS provides real estate professionals with reliable, cost-effective access to a variety of multiple listing service products and services to serve their business needs in today’s fast-paced industry.
MLS is a means by which authorized participants make blanket unilateral offers of cooperation and compensation to other participants and is a facility for the orderly correlation and dissemination of listing information among the participants so they may better serve their clients and the public. MLS property listings can be viewed publicly through kansasresidential.com (powered by Homesnap) or at Realtor.com, in addition to many other subscriber websites.
CIE serves as a commercial information exchange and can be found at kscommercialre.com. Participants who have been retained by sellers of commercial property to market those properties may submit information on those properties to the CIE. Participants who have been retained by buyers of a commercial property may submit information of the type of property sought to the CIE. Any compensation agreements related to the property included in the CIE compilation must be made on an individual basis outside of the CIE between the Participants involved. A CIE is not an MLS, no offers of cooperation and compensation are communicated through filing information on a property within the CIE.
SCK MLS helped facilitate over 12,654 transactions, worth over $2.4 Billion. SCK MLS is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the REALTORS of South Central Kansas.
