MLS Rules and Regulations

All listings entered into the MLS are subject to the Rules and Regulations set forth by the WCAR MLS Committee. Review the latest by clicking ‘Intranet’ in your Menu.

MLS Compliance

The MLS Rules and Regulations ensure that the data being entered into the MLS is accurate and not misleading. Data accuracy is very important.

REPORTING – Violations are reported to the service two ways:

  1. Auto alerts are sent to staff for violations that contain a breach of an allowed timeline: new listings, status changes and closings.
  2. Members can contact the board office to report possible violations. All member reporting is investigated by staff.
 

SANCTIONS – Sanctions on violations range from one warning up to a $2000 fine depending on the specific rule. If staff determines a violation has been made, the participant will receive an invoice via email with a description of the violated rule. Invoices must be paid within 7 business days.

Brokers are responsible for making sure their agents follow MLS Rules and Regulations.
