Congratulations and thank you for making this a successful year! MLSStats Talk
RANW MLS Statistical Reports Affiliate Subscription Contact Update Tax Information on Your Active ListingsReminder to all members: If your listing is still active in the new year, MLS requires that the Net Taxes amount and Tax Year be updated to reflect the new year’s tax information. Listing Maintenance offices can update their own listings; those members who do not use Listing Maintenance should submit a Status Sheet noting the change. Manually Map Your Listings!!!Although the percentages are improving, MLS has found that despite weekly emails to companies and individual emails per listing from Data Checker - far too many MLS members are STILL not manually mapping their listings. When listings are not manually mapped and saved, they usually will not be found on map-based searches, will not be added to prospect carts, and are not being shared with buyers. Is Your Virtual Tour Branded?Your Virtual Tour must not include agent or company names, URLs, email addresses, readable company signs/logos or links to that information.
