MLS Listing Activation Process

Due to multiple recent violations related to the NAR settlement, we are implementing a mandatory review process for all listings to ensure compliance and protect both you and the brokerage from potential fines. Effective immediately, any listing you wish to activate on the MLS will need to be reviewed and approved by our compliance team.

Here's how the process will work:

1. Dotloop Documentation: All required paperwork within the Dotloop checklist must be complete (here is a video to show how.) This includes an executed listing agreement signed by both the Designated Managing Broker (DMD) and the client, along with all necessary disclosures. If we do not have these documents in the checklist, your listing will not be activated.

2. Email Requirement: To make a listing go live, you must fill out this form. This will notify our compliance team to review and approve your listing before it is activated.

3. Listing Review: The compliance team will review and edit the MLS draft listing to ensure it meets all Fair Housing requirements and adheres to the latest NAR Settlement regulations. This step is crucial to prevent any language or terms that could result in a violation.

4. These measures are being implemented for your protection and to safeguard Kale Realty from any potential penalties. Compliance with these regulations is essential to maintaining the professional standards expected of our team.

Thank you for your cooperation and understanding as we work to ensure full compliance and protect our agents. Should you have any questions about this process, please reach out to MB@kalerealty.com.
