Revised MLS Rules and Regulations for New Listings
Effective date: OCTOBER 1, 2014
- MLS Listing Date is now the date marketing and/or advertising begins (including the posting of signs).
- You no longer need to send a letter to the Spokane MLS for an Exempt Listing (if seller does not want property in the MLS). Instead a new "Seller's Waiver of MLS Benefits" form must be submitted to the MLSby the next business day.
- Failure to enter into the MLS or sending in a Waiver of MLS Benefits form is subject to a Tier 1 Violation of the MLS Rules and Regulations.
- Bottom line: When marketing and/or advertising begins on a property - put it in the MLS or send a Seller's Waiver of MLS Benefits form to the Spokane MLS.
- Click to read the revised MLS Rules and Regulations and the "Seller's Waiver of MLS Benefits" form. This form will be on ZipForm for use October 1st.
