Communicating the presence or amount of an offer of commission, compensation, brokerage fees, or related language in the MLS is strictly prohibited.
 

This applies to:

• All MLS front-end systems

• Any other MLS-provided service

Violation Consequences:

Best Practices to Stay in Compliance

• Avoid suggestive verbiage in any of the Remarks fields that may imply the presence of compensation, such as:  “Buyer’s Agents Welcome” , “We have 220 forms”, “Sellers are willing to cooperate”
  
   
• Do Not Upload documents like the Listing Agreements or form 220  as they contain compensation details. MLS does not require these to be uploaded. Other examples include: 
  • Listing Agreement Ext. 
  • Brochure/Flyers/Photos with Compensation
  • Lease Agreements 

• Avoid Compensation Emails via ShowingTime
  Do not send any messages through ShowingTime that reference or imply compensation.
   
• Check Linked Websites for Compliance
  Any landing pages linked in the remarks must not contain language that states or implies compensation.
