Our Five Rule Hacks
Five Easy-to-Make Mistakes
1. Not following Showing Instructions
Every listing contains detailed showing instructions at the bottom of the details page. Whether the house is vacant or occupied, the showing instructions will let you know who to contact, as well as how the showings will be set up.
2. Contact information in the media (Pictures, Videos, Documents, etc)
In the spirit of fair cooperation, contact information must not be visible in all media including pictures, videos, documents, virtual tours, etc. Contact information can be considered names, brokerages, phone numbers or personal logos. With the recent rule 8.23 update, all media must be free of watermarks (non-ARMLS), text, or people in the foreground. Learn more about the change or submit your photos for review here!
3. Having a For Sale sign in your photos with contact information
These signs typically contain brokerage information, or agent phone numbers. A good rule is to always make sure the sign is illegible with some sort of a blurred or censored effect.
4. Sharing your MLS Login credentials
Sharing MLS credentials is NEVER allowed under any circumstance. Whether it’s your grandma, husband, wife or assistant, they need their own log in. If you need information about getting assistant or admin credentials, you can give our support a call.
5. Not uploading a Front Exterior Photo within four days
Once a listing goes live, you have four calendar days to upload a front exterior photo of that property. This photo does NOT have to be the featured image but must be somewhere in the listing.

SUPRA LOCKBOX & KEYS
Supra is the provider of Lockboxes & Keys in our MLS. Learn all about the BTLE Lockbox and the eKEY below.
BTLE Lockbox
Supra eKEY
eKEY Myth #1
“The eKEY doesn’t work without cell service!”
This is not true. The eKEY utilizes Bluetooth technology to open the box, which isn’t reliant upon cell service. The only time the key needs service is when it performs its daily updates. If you believe you’re going to be traveling in an area with low to no service, you can manually update the key before leaving the house.
eKEY Myth #2
“I’ll have to go to a support center every time I get a new phone.”
This is also false. The eKEY app allows the user to request their authorization each time through email or text, making re-downloading the app a breeze.
