Sign into your accountTips on Expediting the MLS Approval Process
November 13 2016
Your local MLS provides direct access to every available listing in your area, so there's a pretty good chance you'll have to work with yours at some point. In general, access to MLS data is only available to those agents who are members in good standing and go through the necessary to steps to seek approval. How do you get approval, you ask? I'm here to help you with that!
The MLS Approval Process
Gaining MLS approval can be a long and tedious process, especially for new agents. Not sure where to get the needed paperwork? What signatures you need to acquire? How long the entire process take? After working with MLSs on a daily basis, we've developed some great relationships and have tips on expediting this process. Here are some key things to keep in mind when looking for approval:
- Make sure you have the most up-to-date version of the data access agreement from your MLS. You get this from the MLS directly, or your IDX/VOW provider may have a copy on file, too!
- Know your website address by heart and make sure it's accurate on your data access agreement.
- Do you know your "Broker of Record" on file with your MLS or brokerage? This may be different than your own broker. Make sure to find out who this may be and obtain their signature on your data access agreement if necessary.
- Submit your completed data access agreement directly to the person that handles each approval.
