Why
are we switching to Form Simplicity?
Form Simplicity includes
many new features that were requested by the IAR
membership. IAR staff conducted surveys of the
membership in 2009 and 2010, and an improved forms
system was the top requested feature by the IAR
membership.
Who made the decision
to switch to Form Simplicity?
In early 2010, IAR staff contacted local boards
and asked local boards to recommend representatives
to serve on a forms system selection committee.
This committee was made up of REALTORS® from
both large and small boards in Iowa. The committee
helped IAR staff identify the desired features
in a forms system and reviewed potential forms
systems through vendor demos and product information.
With the feedback from the committee, IAR staff
submitted a recommendation to the IAR Executive
Committee, and the Executive Committee selected
Form Simplicity as the forms vendor at the December
2010 quarterly meetings.
How much
does Form Simplicity cost?
The IAR is pleased to be able to provide the "basic
edition" of Form Simplicity to all Iowa REALTOR®
members as part of the IAR annual dues. Members
can optionally upgrade to other versions of Form
Simplicity for additional yearly charge - but
again, this is an optional upgrade and is not
required.
I don't see my local board
forms in Form Simplicity...
As of mid-October 2011 all local
board forms should be available in Form Simplicity.
If you are a member of more than one board and
you do not see all of the local boards in Form
Simplicity, please email
us and let us know.
I can't find a form in
Form Simplicity...
Form Simplicity includes a search function that
can help you find a form. When viewing the forms
library in Form Simplicity, locate the "Find
Form" box near the top of the list of forms.
Type a word that describes the form you're looking
for and click the "Find" button. For
example - if you're looking for the "Offer
for Real Estate" form, type the word offer
and then click the "Find" button. |
