Re-listing a property to get a 2019 MLS number – Listing must be off the market for 30 days. We’ve started a new year. Some listing agents are taking their listings off the market and re-listing them immediately to get a shiny new 2019 MLS number. Other listings expired on December 31st. Regardless, please be careful to follow MLS policy or that new MLS number may cost you. MLS policy requires that a listing be off the market for at least 30 days before it can be re-listed with a new MLS number. You can review MLS policy 1.02.07 below to ensure you are in compliance.
1.02.07 – Re-Entry of Same Property Prior to 30-Day Off-Market Warning, $100, $200, $500 Property with the same parcel number may not be re-entered by the same agent with the same company within 30 days or less. The thirty-day relist policy also applies to co-listed properties. This policy applies unless (1) it has been in the status of Cancelled, Temporary Withdrawn or Expired for 30 consecutive days or longer, (2) it has been in the status of Under Contract, Contingent Finance/Inspection, Contingent Escape, Contingent Lien-Holder Release or Leased for 90 consecutive days or longer (3) it has acceptable verification documents that can be provided to the MLS that serve to identify a new owner. Acceptable verification documents are (a) recorded deed, (b) proof from auditor (c) legal title change or (4) sending MLS a completed Thirty-Day Relist Waiver Form for Waiver of MLS 30-day Relist Policy and New MLS Listing Number
