ATTENTION — MLS CHANGES NOW EFFECTIVE
DPOL ACCESS IS NOW SINGLE USER ACCESS

To enhance the security of our MLS system, CAR has changed DPOL access to a single sign on ability as of last Saturday, March 1, 2008.

Important points for easy, no-stress MLS access:

  • You are able to sign on and use your password at one computer at a time.
  • Administrative personnel will need their own user id and password. Please complete linked form and return to CAR for additional CLERICAL access.
  • Please see our forms page to join the Association if additional access is needed for sales agents, or contact the CAR staff if you have questions regarding MLS access.

Thank you for your cooperation and an easy transition!

A MESSAGE FROM GCAAR
GCAAR will not be issuing SentriLock keys at this time but they will notify us when they are ready to start issuing the keys.
