Accurate MLS® Listings
Members are responsible for making sure all the info they submit to the MLS® System including photos is accurate. The MLS® Listing can’t include anything that tries to shift or reduce that responsibility. The Association isn’t required to verify the accuracy of any MLS® data. If there’s a mistake or a reported infraction, members need to fix it right away.
The first fine is $1000, a second breach is $2000 (Rule 3.01)
No Self-Promotion in MLS® Listings
Information published on the MLS® System shall relate directly to the listed real estate and the MLS® Listing Agreement. Public facing fields of an MLS® Listing shall not include any form of solicitation or services. Specifically any form of self-promotion of the Member or third-party information, including but not limited to, telephone number, email addresses, and website URLs with the exception that the phrases “visit my website for further information about this Listing” or “visit the REALTOR® website for further information about this Listing.” (Rule 3.05)

A Seller can only have one MLS® listing per trade function at a time. Separate trade functions include: a) Sale vs. Lease b) Furnished vs. Unfurnished c) Owner Sale vs. Power of Sale
For Commercial MLS® listings, up to three property types can be listed at once.
Mixed-use properties (Residential & Commercial) can be listed in both categories (Rule 3.10)
