Check Your Inventory
The MLS encourages everyone to check their inventory - at least once a month! Are you being identified as the agent for all your sales? Is your market share being accurately represented? Have you forgotten to report a sale that still shows pending?
There are currently almost 1,300 pending listings in MLS (that does not include Active with Offer). When agents log in as themselves they get a list of their current active and pending listings, their listings about to expire within the next seven days and listings that have sold within the last 30 days. If you log in as the office you will get the listing information for the entire office. Are all those pending listings still really pending? - check them out and clean them up!
To check your inventory, from the menu bar in flexMLS go to STATISTICS and then click on INVENTORY. Please make any changes/corrections that are needed. If you require assistance please email (lynne@metromls.com) or fax (414-778-6143) your changes to the MLS. We will verify the information and make the appropriate changes. Only MLS staff can make changes to a listing after it has been changed to a sold status.
It is your responsibility to ensure the accuracy of your listing and sales data. Sanctions may be levied for inaccurate/incomplete information or failure to report sales. See section 7.0 of the MLS Rules for more information.
After you check your inventory….. Check out your list of Contacts. Are they all up-to-date and current? Do they still want to receive auto-emails about properties or do they consider you spam? Let’s start the New Year with up-to-date and accurate information!
Update Tax Information
In December all property owners received their tax bill. Please remember to update your active listings with the new tax information – both year and taxes. The tax amount entered into the MLS is the gross tax amount – taxes before any credits.
Marketing Names
The ‘Marketing Name’ was designed for use by teams who want their “team” name to show up on listing reports. The Marketing Name was not designed for self promotion (Jane Doe, #1 seller in the entire state). Inappropriate use of ‘Marketing Names’ will be removed from the system.
We appreciate your business and support and look forward to your comments, questions or suggestions regarding any subject. Contact (support@metromls.com) or call (414) 778-5400.
