Clients today aren’t just looking for data. They’re looking for clarity, confidence and someone who can help them move forward.
For years, agents who are members of the National Association of REALTORS® have relied on reports from Realtors Property Resource® to help them show up prepared with insights and a client-first mindset. Now, RPR has reimagined the reporting experience with your needs in mind.
“Agents asked for more flexibility and control, better branding and tools that fit the way they actually work,” says Reggie Nicolay, RPR senior vice president of marketing and training.
That’s what they’ll get with Next Gen Reports, which went through nine months of beta testing before their full release last week. (See “What’s Happening to Legacy Reports?” below.)
This article walks you through what’s new, how agents are using these reports, and how to make the switch before legacy reports disappear in November.
What New With Next Gen Reports?
Next Gen Reports are “dynamic, modern, mobile-ready and built for agents who want to guide clients with confidence,” says Emily Line, RPR’s senior vice president, strategic engagement. Rather than static PDFs and one-size-fits-all layouts, the new reports are built with:
- Modern, clean designs that are easy to read.
- Drag-and-drop customization, enabling you to reorder sections, hide pages and personalize for every client.
- Report links that auto-update every 48 hours, so that your report stays fresh.
- Templates to save you time reusing branded reports.
- Custom pages so your branding can go beyond the cover page, with such additions as testimonials, FAQs or client-service guarantees.
- Mobile parity, enabling you to create, edit and send reports from your phone.
Since the beta launch in October 2024, thousands of agents have been using RPR’s new dynamic reports for
