(Remember to upload at least 8 good pictures and select one as the main photo) If you don&#8217;t remember what ads you had, check your emails as the system should send you a confirmation email each time you placed an ad.\u00a0 If you don&#8217;t have your emails, please send me an email with the property address and the publication and I will check our logs for you.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks for your patience and please try to get in the system to check out your stuff in the next couple of days.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As you all may know, EWM has been experiencing some &#8220;challenges&#8221; with our computer systems in last last month or so.\u00a0 Yesterday, the light bulb went on as to what may be a significant contributor to the problem&#8230; Associates have recently changed their MLS Board affiliation.
