MLS Tip: Beware Listing Lead Scams

There have been an increase of the number of listing lead scams reported recently. Please be vigilant in vetting internet leads. Always verify the authenticity of the seller before entering a listing on the MLS. Use extra caution with out-of-state leads from internet web sites. Make sure the person signing the listing agreement is actually the owner of the property.

Automatically Hide Photos and Videos in MLS After Sale

It’s called “Private While Off-Market

Private, Private While Off-Market, and Public buttons

Benefits of Private While Off-Market Include:

  • Agents can set photos to become “viewable only by MLS members” automatically. No need to delete photos, videos and virtual tours to prevent them from being seen by the public after the sale.
  • Buyers and Sellers who have privacy concerns can be assured that photos from the MLS do not appear on the internet.
  • MLS can retain important historical records and keep listings intact for CMAs and appraisals.

How Private Mode Works:
Select the check the box at the top right of all photos that you want to “change visibility” then press the appropriate button. (Important Note: The Primary photo cannot be made private.)  

  • Mark Private While Off-Market: Selected photos will automatically change to Private when listing moves to an off-market status such as Sold or Expired.
  • Mark Private: Selected photos are immediately visible only within MLS.
  • Mark Public: Returns previously Private photos to Public display.
Color coded boxes after marking photos Private

Photos, videos, and virtual tours marked Private in MLS are viewable only by MLS members. They are not available to the public via the consumer portal, subscription emails, shared links, IDX websites, or third-party sites.

Identifying a Private Photo, Video, or Virtual Tour

Private flag at top left corner

A Private flag is displayed on the media in search results on Flexmls web and Flexmls Pro for iOS/Android. Private photos are displayed only on the private version of listing reports. Private media is not available via the consumer portal or app.
