Listing Situations Grid

In early 2019, the SmartMLS Board of Directors approved several modifications to the Rules & Regulations surrounding mandatory listings. We have created the following grid to help guide list agents (and their sellers) through the various options available for entering a property on the MLS.

1  Listing Agreement execution is either the beginning date of the listing agreement, or the last date on which all
necessary signatures were obtained - whichever is later.

2  For Coming Soon listings, all public marketing, with the exception of tours and/or open houses, is permitted as soon as the listing is entered on the MLS in the Coming Soon status. As is the case with showings, Tours and Open Houses cannot occur during the Coming Soon period- they can only occur once the listing is Active on the MLS.

3  In addition to being entered into Connect as a Withhold from MLS listing, both the Listing Agreement/Listing Agreement Compliance Certification and the Instruction to Withhold form must be uploaded before you can publish the listing. If the seller decides they want their withheld listing activated on the MLS (so all SmartMLS subscribers and their clients can see it), it must be after a minimum of 30 days being withheld. Market Time will accrue while the listing is in the withheld status.
