Download the Chrome Extension (First-Time Users Only) Once logged into MRP, follow the on-screen instructions or the provided link to install the MRP Chrome extension. After installation, restart or refresh your Chrome browser if prompted. 4. Log Into ConnectMLS Open a new tab in Chrome. Go to the ConnectMLS login page. Enter Username:  Enter Password:  Click Log In to access ConnectMLS. 5. Access Your Listings Navigate to Listings in ConnectMLS. Select View My Listings to see the properties you currently have on the market. 6. Select the Agent Name Within your listings, locate the specific property you’d like to market. Find the agent’s name or relevant information associated with that listing. 7. Check the MLS # Look to the left of the listing’s MLS #. Check the box next to the MLS # to select it. 8. Click “REV Prospect” With the listing selected, click on REV Prospect. This option may appear as a button or link, depending on your ConnectMLS interface. 9.

1. Start by reviewing the Kale Health Plan GPT Before anything else, please learn about the Kale group plan here: Ask the 78 page BCBC catalog questions. For example... "I am a family of 4- what are my plan options and the costs?" AI Details Bot 2. Compare the Kale plan with Marketplace options It’s important to compare the Kale group PPO plans with what’s available on the open Marketplace ( Healthcare.gov ). Some agents will qualify for lower-cost Marketplace options, while others, especially anyone wanting strong PPO coverage, may find the Kale plan a better fit.  Marketplace link:   https://www.healthcare.gov 3. If you’re interested in the Kale plan, schedule a call with our dedicated Blue Cross Blue Shield representative They will walk through benefits, pricing, and answer questions before you enroll. Tom O’Dekirk 630 254 9998 Tom.odekirk@lpl.com 4. Premium payments are made directly to Kale Realty Blue Cross bills Kale for the group plan, so agents pay their portion of the premium to Kale. This is not a profit center just a service we offer. 5. First two months of premiums are collected upfront Because Blue Cross bills in advance—and to ensure your coverage starts smoothly—we collect: Your first month of premium , and Your prepaid second month of premium , which is applied directly to Month 2 of your coverage This is  not  a fee or deposit. It’s simply prepayment for your first two months of insurance, aligned with the BCBS billing cycle. If you cancel or leave Kale, any unused prepaid premium will be refunded or go to the end of the cycle. After Month 2, payments switch to a regular monthly schedule. If you want to explore whether this plan is right for you, start by reviewing the GPT and comparing it with Marketplace options. Reach out to Tom with any questions about the plan and reach out to us about billing questions. Click the below file for the full detailed plan Information Summary: 1) Check the AI link and ask your questions 2) If it looks good, reach out to Tom to chat about plans (Tell him you are with Kale) 3) Set up on the auto payment  Questions let us know!
