To remain efficient and provide the highest quality of member service, CCAR has transitioned to the Coastal Portal. Solid Earth and Growthzone, our new platforms, will enhance the way we communicate with our members and provide you with one-click access to all of your tools. We are excited about these new offerings and all that they will provide for us to serve you better. Please review the information below for answers to many questions you may have. We appreciate your patience as we continue to work through this transition!

Initial FAQs

• What is my username?

Your username is your five digit MLS ID number. 

• How do I access the single sign-on (SSO) for Paragon, Zipforms, etc.? 

Members received a welcome email on May 21st which includes a link to log-in for the first time. You will use your MLS ID (or email) as your username. This is your single sign-on. You will be prompted to create a new password. Please watch the video below for a preview of the initial log-in process. 

On the Coastal Portal, you will see icon buttons for Growthzone, Paragon, Zipforms, etc. You will need to click on the corresponding icon to visit that website but you will not need to log in again. 

• What is a single sign-on member portal? 

The Coastal Portal is a centralized, secure platform that gives CCAR members and CCMLS subscribers one-click access to all of their essential MLS tools and services in one place-streamlining workflows and eliminating multiple logins. 

• Who do I contact if I've followed all of the instructions and still cannot gain access to the new Coastal Portal?

If you are still experiencing an error, please call CCAR at 843-626-3638 for assistance. 

• Is the portal secure? 

Yes, the platforms use modern encryption and authentication protocols to protect user data and system access.

• Can users save login information or use FaceID/TouchID? 

The ability to support biometric login features is coming very soon. If your device does not support biometric authentication, a password can always be used to access the Coastal Portal. 

 

How do I log-in for the first time? 

On May 21st, members received a welcome email from ccarinfo@ccarsc.org with a link to log-in for the first time. Each member's initial login link is unique. You will use your MLS ID (or email) as your username but you will need to create a new password. Your existing password will not work.
