A caravan is an organized Realtor® tour of new listings, designed to familiarize agents with newly listed properties. (Caravans may alternately be called "broker opens" or "Realtor® opens.")
Caravans are usually managed by the MLS. In some cases, an office may set up a caravan for its agents only.
To view a caravan, or print a caravan report
From the Listings pull-down menu choose Caravan.
Select a caravan by activating its check box on the right. Then click the Reports button to display all listings in that caravan.
Verify the listings you want to display on your caravan report are checked. Then click Submit.
Use the Report Option field to choose the type of report you want to view: A Caravan Summary report displays basic information such as location, listing office/agent, and price. A Caravan Detail report displays additional information such as marketing remarks and amenities.
Click Submit. The caravan report is generated and displayed in a new browser window.
NOTE: Your MLS determines whether to use caravans or not. If no caravan information displays, then your MLS may have chosen to disable this feature.
