WHAT IS SOURCEMLS™?
The SOURCEMLS™ badge
means that the real estate property information you are viewing has been
supplied directly from the multiple listing service (MLS). Why is that
important? Real Estate Brokers and Agents are required to directly, promptly
and completely enter information about their property listings into their local
MLS.
In
order for a website publisher to be granted permission to use the SOURCEMLS™ badge,
they must meet the following criteria:
·
All data displayed pertaining to the listing comes directly from the MLS.
·
The listing database is updated in real time by agents and brokers.
·
All property photos from the MLS are available for display
·
No MLS listing data may be reused or
repurposed

above criteria are not being met, please click HERE to fill out a short online listing data discrepancy form.
