Paragon® is an MLS solution used by many boards across the United States. The easiest way to tell if your board is on Paragon is to log in to your MLS. Once logged in, the Paragon logo is visible at the top left.
Follow the instructions below to create a template in Paragon, export and save your data as a Comma Separated Value (CSV) file, and import the property data to Titan Analytics. Or, if this isn't the vendor your MLS board uses, click here for a complete list of vendors.
You only need to create an export template once. After you save it, you can reuse the template each time you export data from your MLS. If you already have a template for Titan Analytics, jump to Part II.
Because Paragon doesn't allow you to create a new spreadsheet, select an existing spreadsheet and modify it to use as your Titan Analytics spreadsheet.
It doesn't matter in which order these fields are added. Once the required fields have been added, you can also include any additional fields that might be useful for identifying outliers.
Additionally, the field names listed below won't always be an exact match to the field names listed by your MLS. Titan Analytics knows the different ways an MLS says Closing Price or Listing Date, for example, and can decipher the data.
Once you've saved your export template, use it to export the property data from your MLS search for use in Titan Analytics.
In some cases, data from Paragon exports won't match the template. Fields are sometimes duplicated or missing, or the header row is shifted over so it doesn't match the columns underneath. If you have a problem with your export from Paragon, clear your browser cache, close your browser completely, and try again. Click here for instructions on clearing your cache.
