Zip code reports make the big move to a new location
Reports are now accessible ONLY from ORRA’s online member engagement platform, Orlando REALTORS® Connect
REALTOR® Store
ORRA’s REALTOR® Store
has added two new products
that are flying off the shelves.
Attention-getting PVC “Open
House” yard markers and yard
sails are lightweight, easy to
spot, and only $35 and $45
respectively. The 90-inch yard
sail also features “Welcome”
printed along the top. Both varieties
include an ultra-tough
top that can take pounding,
and both are available in
either red or blue.
Stop by ORRA at 1330
Lee Road to purchase or call
407.513.7282 for delivery info.
Beginning in January, ORRA’s popular
Zip Code Plus reports will be housed
only in the password-protected Orlando
REALTORS® Connect, the association’s
online member engagement platform. The
publicly accessible Dropbox location has
gone away.
HOW TO FIND ZIP CODE PLUS REPORTS
1. Visit connect.orlandorealtors.org
or via a link on the homepage of
orlandorealtors.org.
2. Log in the same as you would log
in to the ORRA member portal,
using your NRDS number and ORRA
password. If it’s your first time using
Orlando REALTORS® Connect, you’ll
be asked to agree to the platform’s
code of conduct (and now’s a good
time to complete your profile).
3. Now go to the “Communities” tab
on the menu bar and select “All
Communities” from the dropdown
menu. Scroll down and click on
“Housing Statistics.”
4. Once you’re on the “Housing Statistics”
page, click on the “Library”
button then the folder icon to see all
of ORRA’s statistical files arranged
by category.
5. Select the arrow next to “Zip Code
Plus” and the reports are available
numerically and further sorted by
year.

2019 will see the introduction of ORRA’s
new broker professionalism certification
PKC to join GKC in the effort to improve the professionalism of all REALTORS®
ORRA is pleased to
announce the launch of
a brand-new certification
program just for brokers:
Excellence in Professionalism
- Platinum Key
Certification.
The Platinum Key
Certification (PKC)
PL ATINUM
KEY
program builds on the
PKC
runaway popularity of
ORRA’s Excellence in Professionalism - Gold Key Certification, which has been earned
by more than 3,000 Orlando REALTORS®. Like GKC, the PKC credential signals to both
consumers and other real estate practitioners that a broker is dedicated to practicing
the utmost in customer service and brokerage management.
Also like the GKC structure, an entire real estate office has the opportunity to
become a PKC certified brokerage. Once the office’s broker receives the PKC and 50 percent
of the office’s agents receive the GKC, a brokerage itself is proclaimed to be PKC
certified and may advertise itself as such.
The first offering of the PKC program will be on March 25, 2019. The program is split
into two sections, each worth four hours of continuing education credit, and attendees
have the option of taking either one or both sections on March 25. Both sections will be
offered throughout 2019.
The price for each section of the PKC program is $49. Those who register to take
both sections on March 25 will receive a special discounted price of $69 for both.
Topics covered in the PKC program range from brokerage risk management and
employment issues to budgeting and proper escrow procedures. Visit the education
section of orlandorealtors.org for more details.
