MLS Compliance – Use of Agent Reports

by

compliance file

Agent Reports are for agent eyes only! Be careful when providing listing data to your clients and consumers to avoid an MLS Rules Citation including a fine. There is sensitive MLS data displayed on Agent Reports that should not been seen by the general public.

CCAR is aware agents are providing printouts of Agent Reports to clients and including Agent Reports in their transaction management software (i.e. zipForms, Skyslope, Disclosures.io, etc.). Only provide “Client Report View” printouts to the public. If you are placing agent reports in your transaction management software make sure that no one other than MLS Participants or Subscribers can see that report.

If you have any questions please contact CCAR MLS Compliance at [email protected]
