FAQ: Office Exclusive Listings in Doorify MLS Follow
Is this compliant with Clear Cooperation?
Yes. The Office Exclusive feature in Listing Manager is designed to support seller-directed exclusivity while complying with NAR’s Clear Cooperation Policy, provided the property is not publicly marketed.
Does this increase exposure of my seller’s property?
No. Listings marked “Office Exclusive = Yes” are visible only to the Listing Agent and Listing Office within the Doorify MLS platforms (e.g., Paragon, Flexmls, and Matrix) and may be shared with clients. They are not visible to other Doorify MLS participants or subscribers. In addition, these listings are not included in IDX feeds or third-party syndication feeds, including those used by sites such as Realtor.com, Zillow, and similar consumer portals.
When does Days on Market (DOM) begin?
DOM begins when the listing is made publicly visible by changing the Office Exclusive field to “No.” At that time, the listing appears as new on the Hot Sheet within Doorify MLS.
Why require entry into Doorify MLS instead of just submitting a form?
Entering the listing into Doorify MLS:
- Creates a secure system-of-record entry
- Preserves listing history
- Strengthens documentation and compliance protections
- Ensures inclusion in broker data feeds
- Reduces manual processing and administrative delays
Will Office Exclusive listings appear in broker data feeds?
Yes. Office Exclusive listings entered in Doorify MLS will flow through broker data feeds and be visible within Doorify MLS platforms to the listing firm’s agents only.
What happens when the property sells?
Upon closing, the listing automatically becomes visible to all Doorify MLS participants to ensure complete and transparent sales data for market statistics and comparable purposes.
Is the Office Exclusive certification form still required?
Yes. The seller’s written instruction remains required and must be uploaded directly to the listing via Documents (marked with Has Edit permissions) within Doorify MLS rather than submitted separately to Data Integrity.
