Because Teams are housed in the Paragon "agent" section, this allows a member to only place a Team name as the listing agent. This does not create any transparency to the public regarding the individual agents who make up a Team. The National Association of REALTORS along with AREC ask for transparency to the public.

Paragon has created an area specifically for Teams and has the following benefits: - All listings going forward will be required to place an agent in the listing agent 1 field. Members can still place up to three (3) listing agents per listing. This will inform the public of at least 1 agent who is a part of the team. - Teams will be searchable on BaldwinRealtors.com and will include all Team members. - Team names with Team members will be syndicated with roster information in order to make them searchable with online syndicators.

Yes! - The ability to select a "Team Lead" for each Team. - The ability to display the Team phone number instead of the agent of office phone number. - The ability to determine which members can edit Team listings. - The ability to display the Team email address instead of the agent or office email address. - Team members will no longer be required to "Assume Identity" or login as the Team account to maintain listings. Any Team member who has been allowed to edit listings will have access to the Team's listings in their own Paragon account. - A new statistical report for Teams only.
