Print and complete this form, sign it and fax your new Exhibit C to (808) 524-6874.  Please note that your broker does not have to sign this form if you are only changing your account information.

It is the responsibility of the PB to insure that the fees that are due are paid by the 10th of each month or service may be interrupted to the entire office on the 11th.  Each PB must be responsible for his/her own agents.  If an agent is not able to pay his/her MLS fees, the PB has the following choices.

  • Release the agent, placing their license inactive with DCCA, and providing a copy of the release to HIS.  The agent’s signature is not required. 
  • Loan the agent sufficient funds to pay the MLS fees due.
  • Pay the fees due on behalf of the agent.
  • The PB is responsible for managing the roster for his/her office.  Fees will continue to be billed until a DCCA change form is received by HIS.

As always, we appreciate your cooperation.

Database Server Info

REsearch, Technical Support 2 Comments »

Earlier today we had an issue with the REsearch Database Server. We identified this issue to be a hardware failure, and one that required a restoration of the MLS Database. No data or photos were compromised during the restoration of the Database. We will be working to replace the hardware in the following weeks to prevent this from happening again in the future. We apologize for any inconvenience this might caused.

The MLS Database has been restored, and you should not notice any problems at this time.

Please send any questions or comments to support@hawaiiinformation.com
