connectBLC is a Broker Listing Cooperative software solution that has full functionality on any device so you can work efficiently from anywhere. It was designed from the ground up with the perspective of an Agent, & features powerful, intuitive tools that you can harness to provide your Clients with exceptional service in an environment professionally branded with your information! This guide will walk you through everything you need to get started in connectBLC.

Helpful Home Page Tools

  • Your My BLC Home Page is the first thing you see upon signing in to connectBLC. It has a number of features that are designed to update you on any changes since you last signed in, & navigate intuitively throughout the system.

Customizable Widgets

  • Widgets are moveable sections that are outlined with a box. They display data that includes the following: Client Activity, Bulletins, Hot Sheets, Shortcuts, Market Activity, Links, Automatic Searches, & more.

  • You can choose where you would like each widget to be located by clicking on the title, dragging it to the intended location, & releasing.
  • The Bulletins widget displays important communications from MIBOR & your Broker/office, so it can be moved to a different column, but will remain at the top of the screen.

  • The Client Activity widget can be moved anywhere, but can get lengthy as it shows a feed of all communication between Clients and an Agent. As such, it’s recommended to make sure no other widgets are located beneath it.

  • The SmartBar is a powerful and efficient search tool available at the top of every page in connectBLC on any device.

  • As you enter criteria into the SmartBar, it displays a list of relevant items. You can click on any item to navigate to its page ensuring efficient navigation.


  • Clicking within the empty SmartBar without entering criteria will show a timestamped list of all recent activity. This makes it very easy to get back to what you were previously working on, even when switching between devices.


One-Click Access to Features with the Toolbar

  • The Toolbar Menu located at the top of every page in connectBLC allows you to conveniently access a function by selecting the appropriate shortcut icon.
  • The shortcuts to the left of the SmartBar are standard (can’t be removed) & display drop-down menus with additional options, while those to the right are customizable & can be displayed or hidden based on your personal preferences.

  • You can choose which Toolbar Shortcuts to display from the Settings & Sign Out menu.

Ability to Multitask with the New Workspace Shortcut

  • We know how busy Agents are, so connectBLC provides the ability to multitask by opening multiple tabs/workspaces. For example, if you are in the middle of editing a listing when you get a call from a Client, you can open a new tab to help the Client without losing your spot in the original tab.
  • To do so, click the New Workspace link from the Toolbar Shortcut menu, Settings & Sign Out menu, or by holding the Ctrl & K key on your keyboard at the same time.
