How to Enter a Flex Listing in Unlock MLS

Updated

If your client has decided to market their property as a Flex Listing, you can enter it into Unlock MLS once you have the necessary documentation. Be sure to complete the Unlock MLS Seller Marketing Options & Disclosure form (or a similar document) along with your listing agreement. After that, you’ll be ready to create and submit your Flex Listing in just a few simple steps!

 

  1. Go to Listing Manager under Add/Edit
  2. Select Add and choose the Property Type for your listing
    1. Note: Flex Listings do not apply to Commercial Sale or Commercial Lease property types
  3. Begin your listing by Auto-Populating your listing data or start with a blank listing
  4. Once on the Editor tab of your new listing, you’ll default to the new Flex Listing YN field at the top of your input form. This field is required to select Yes or No before publishing a listing (note: you can still Save as Incomplete at any time in your input process).

 

  1. Once Flex Listing YN is set to Yes, Listing Manager will highlight the required fields needed to publish a Flex Listing. For a blank listing, here is a comparison of the required fields when Flex Listing YN = Yes vs No:
    1. Note: When Flex Listing YN = No, this is the same as a full, Active listing.

Flex Listing YN = Yes

 

Flex Listing YN = No (Full, Active Listing)

 

  1. Once Flex Listing YN = Yes, enter in your required fields, which includes the Internet Display option fields
    1. Note: Flex Listings will only display on VOW websites when seller gives permission to do so; Flex listings will never appear on IDX or syndication sites (even if syndication sites are selected under Listing Will Appear On field)

 

  1. Once your required data is entered, select Publish Listing to make your Flex Listing Active
    1. Note: You can enter MORE than the required data for a Flex Listing

 

Once you are ready to make your Flex Listing a full, Active listing, enter your input form and select Flex Listing YN = No. Listing Manager will signal if you have required fields remaining to complete. Click Publish Listing once all required fields are completed to update your Flex Listing to a full, Active listing.
