MLS Rules & Regulations Update – Effective June 23
We’re pleased to announce a recent MLS rule update that provides more flexibility and clarity when including information about seller credits and concessions for buyers in your listings.

Previously, MLS rules prohibited any mention of seller credits or concessions in Public and Confidential Remarks. Under the updated rule, remarks regarding seller credits, incentives, or concessions to a buyer are permitted in the Public or Confidential Remarks fields, provided it meets the following guidelines:

- The remarks do not include a dollar amount or percentage.
- The credits, incentives, or concessions are not offered for payment, directly or indirectly, of buyer broker compensation.
- The remarks are otherwise compliant with all MLS Rules.
- For additional information, contact the listing agent.
Examples of Permitted:
- Offering credits towards closing costs.
- Seller offering credit towards repairs.
- Includes 1-year home warranty provided by seller.
Examples of Not Permitted:
- Seller offering 2.5% to buyer’s agent.
- Seller to provide $5,000 towards closing costs.
- Buyer broker compensation being offered.
