WHAT’S NEW!
PARAGON
Per customer request, the Market Activity by Location and Month report now includes the average sale price (AvgSP) and median sale price (MedianSP) in the Sold Listings section.
When adding or editing a listing, if the user is required to manually place the map pin but the auto-generated placement of the pin is correct, the user no longer has to move the pin to save the location to meet the requirement. Users may use the new “Confirm” option to verify that the current map pin placement is correct and proceed with saving the listing. The previous workflow required the user to manually move the pin slightly, even if the auto-generated placement was correct.
Users will continue to have the option to manually move the auto-generated placement of the pin as needed.
Collaboration Center
- Collaboration Center – Remove Open House info banner.
To clean up the appearance of the open house information on photos, the Collaboration Center-specific info banner was removed. The banner displayed inconsistently, and if the text watermark was enabled at the bottom of the photo, the banner overlapped the text watermark, causing the appearance of duplicate text. The Open House text watermark information will still display, if enabled, and Open House information will display in the Collaboration Center detail view.
If a contact’s record includes the option to include the spouse/secondary email on notifications, the Sell Side > Seller Report will now include that secondary email address in the email notifications.
Some formatting changes have been made to the handling of the agent image uploaded in Paragon Professional, to improve the display of the image in Collaboration Center. The image size was changed to allow better resolution, and code was corrected that was causing the image to display off center.

The Driving Directions option has been expanded to allow support for multiple listings. Driving directions were previously available for a single listing. Users may now select multiple listings on their desktop or mobile device to use Google Maps for plotting directions between listings.
Busy agents need super-fast access to find listings when they are out in the field, so we added a new one-click option to find listings near you, wherever you are. On the initial landing page there is a new map icon in the top menu bar that uses your current location to open the map centered on your location and displays listings near you. This search option uses your default multi-Class search form to allow access to all listings. From the map you can use the new Criteria Filter to quickly change your search parameters to find just the right properties you need.
You can also access this new Near Me search option from the Dashboard Quick Actions and from the Properties Search menu.
Paragon Connect now allows users to modify the fields used on the property class search forms. Users may choose to customize the Containers and the Fields within each container making it easy to search for any and all kinds of listing data. You can also drag and drop fields from one container to another!
After making any adjustments to the form containers and fields be sure to save as a custom search or use the Update Default Template option if you want access to the new additions going forward.
When viewing the Listing Detail View there is a section to display all Associated Documents. This section now includes a new option to combine any PDF documents into a single file and allow you to print them all at once. This new Print PDF option does not include any other document types.
When adding a new listing, if the exact map location is required and the auto-generated placement of the map pin is correct, the user no longer has to move the pin to save the location to meet the requirement. Users may use the new “Confirm” option to verify the current map pin placement is correct and proceed to publish the new listing. The previous workflow required the user to manually move the pin slightly, even if the auto-generated placement was correct.
Users will continue to have the option to manually move the auto-generated placement of the pin as needed.
This new confirmation-process is only available when adding new listings.
The Members menu item in Paragon Connect has a brand-new look. Users may search for Agents or Offices similarly to the Roster search functions in Paragon. Results include the option to view Roster Detail reports for agents and offices and include convenient quick links to call and email.
