Removal of “Concessions Considered: Yes/No” Field from Listing Entry

Effective August 27, we removed the ‘Concessions Considered: Yes/No’ field from Listing Entry as a precaution following recent litigation and legal advice. While we initially made this field mandatory to ensure clarity, feedback from members revealed it may not have met everyone’s business needs. Our priority is to protect you and your data. Thank you for your understanding and continued support as we navigate these current challenges in our industry and strive to serve you better.

Display Master Lock Lockboxes
On both web and mobile app platforms, when a Master Lock lockbox is added as a listing’s Access Type in the Showing Configuration page, it will not appear on the Lockboxes page until the listing’s Showing Configuration page is saved. We have identified and resolved this issue and newly added Master Lock lockboxes will appear for users to further manage via the Lockboxes page.

No CSRF Token Found
A user reported encountering a CSRF token error when attempting to book a showing via MLS. Upon investigation, it was determined that the issue stemmed from the CSRF cache not being cleared in response to a 500 error. This issue will be addressed and resolved in the upcoming release.
