GAR Forms Usage Changes
Atlanta Metro ODAT Realty CDPE Advanced
Buy Lease Sell Buckhead Atlanta GA

MAJOR change for using FMLS FormsPro begins on January 1, 2012. 

Gray Penguin Atlanta Metro ODAT Realty CDPE Advanced Buy Lease Sell  Buckhead Atlanta GAGAR decided to charge for using their forms. If you are a Realtor®, not much changes.  If you are not a Realtor®, you have two choices: you may pay $199. per year to use the forms or you may use the new forms being developed by FMLS/GMLS or commercial vendors.

How do I get to my previously entered forms? 
If you are an ACTIVE Realtor
®, it is easy. You'll just enter your NERDS ID# to access the GAR forms. If you have paid the $199. annual fee to use the forms, you'll enter a new ID assigned to those who pay.

Don't want to pay or to be a
Realtor®
The forms you already have in the FMLS system will be available for your use as an archived document, you may
read them, or retrieve them or print them but you will not be able to edit the forms any longer.

Other forms
FMLS and GMLS have joined together to develop a series of STANDARD forms for their members to use.  Their variety of forms is limited at this time although they plan to keep adding more forms as they are developed. In addition, some commercially available forms are referenced in the FMLS INFO.

Have a happy day -

Lynn, we have some form changes that take effect on the first of the year.  That seems to be the favorite time for change around the country!

Dear Gary-

Thanks as always for your visit. Yes, it is funny how "the more things change, the more they stay the same".  In the 1980's every firm had their own forms - what a mess!  Maybe we are going back to that ...

Have a happy day -

Dear Pat,

Glad to see you here.  Part of the fun is that on LinkedIn there is a 50 comment thread for Georgia REALTORS about the changes with TONS of questions - most of which are answered on the FMLS FAQ page already!

Hope your changes go more smoothly.

Have a happy day -
Lynn
