Greater Alabama Multiple Listing Service is bringing Remine Pro and Remine Docs+ to our subscribers. Remine Pro will give GALMLS members the tools to search, display listing data, public records, and client interaction as well as the ability to keep you and your consumers engaged during their home-buying process. Remine Docs+ is a collaborative, cloud-based transaction management end-to-end document creation, which includes e-signature, multi-party collaboration, and transaction management all-in-one place. This will offer all the documents you need + the backing and support of Remine technology.

Did you know that Mobile/Manufactured homes on leased land or that are being sold without land, are not authorized to be entered into the MLS?

MLS Rules section 1.1 B states, “The MLS does not accept the following types of listings….Mobile/Manufactured Home Without Real Property.”

Recently, MLS staff have been receiving an increased number of reports and questions regarding this issue. If you currently have a property listed that does not include the land, it will need to be cancelled.

If you have any questions about this or the MLS Rules and Regulations, please reach out to our MLS Team at [email protected].
