Brokerage License Number Added to MLS Listing Reports

To assist in the TRID requirements, we have added the Brokerage License Number to the standard listing reports in MLS for all Property Types.

The brokerage license number now shows below the listing agent information at the bottom of the private versions of the CR Full and CR Full 2-Page Reports.

To accommodate this change, the showing phone number was moved slightly to the right on the private versions of standard listing reports.

The brokerage license number is the listing company’s license number and is a field that was added to Columbus REALTORS® Purchase Contract to comply with TRID requirements. This was added to listing reports on the MLS system to make it easier to reference when working with the standard Purchase Contract.

Contingent Listings Now Expire on Expiration Date

Listings that are in any of the 3 Contingent Statuses (Escape, Financing and Inspection, Lien Release) will now expire on their expiration date.  This policy change has been approved by the MLS Committee and Board of Directors.  Previously, listings in Contingent status would ignore the expiration date and remain in that status indefinitely.  The listing agent should receive an email notice that their listing is nearing the expiration date, same as active listings.
The expiration of Under Contract/Pending listing has been delayed indefinitely due to programming issues.
