With the successful completion of our latest data share, CVR MLS now has listing data for CBRAR, REIN, and Bright MLS in Virginia, all within our Matrix database. Here are some tips to ensure that you’re getting the most benefit from these strategic relationships.

Why aren’t any data share listings showing up in my search results?

Your search criteria will capture any relevant listings that fall within your defined parameters, regardless of the originating MLS. If you are not capturing all these listings, check your search criteria for the following:

• Are you searching by MLS Area? CVR MLS is unable to map the listing area fields from REIN or Bright MLS. That means if you're defining your search area using the MLS Area field, you won’t capture listings from these two MLSs. To ensure you’re seeing all relevant listings, we recommend using county, ZIP code, or—our favorite—drawing your desired area directly on the map. Need help? Check out this helpful video.  
• Have you narrowed your search by MLS? Check your search criteria to ensure that you haven’t filtered your listings by MLS. We suggest you leave those selections unchecked to ensure you get the widest range of listings.  

Several forms in the CVR MLS library have been updated to reflect the changes to septic inspections and other new laws.

A summary of revisions made to these forms and redline versions can be found in the CVR MLS KnowledgeBase.



An instructional video from CVR MLS Legal Counsel Michael Lafayette on the July 1 Forms Updates can be found in the Video Library.

When printing listing displays to share with your clients or leave at open houses, be sure to use the client-friendly options: Customer Long, Customer Short, or Client 360 Property View. You will find these options in the display dropdown.

These versions are made just for clients and don’t include agent comments, showing instructions, or any additional information intended for agent reference only.

Due to a few last-minute changes, Lone Wolf has postponed the launch of its new transaction management platform, Lone Wolf Transact, to Tuesday, July 22.

Once the platform is live, you’ll be able to access it directly from your TransactionDesk dashboard with a simple toggle. No need to worry—TransactionDesk isn’t going anywhere just yet! But we encourage you to explore the new Transact platform and experience its refreshed, modern interface firsthand!

One of the many benefits of a CVR MLS Participant subscription is ListHub, a listing syndication platform that ensures brokers can opt in or out of publishing their listings on various websites.

Unlike a data feed, ListHub gives you a platform to compare listing publishers, control your settings at the broker level for lead routing, comprehensive reporting data, and consolidated metrics that include traffic stats from all major publishers in a single report. 

Agents, this is a broker-only feature, so check with your broker to ensure they are utilizing this CVR benefit to maximize your listing exposure.

MarketStats provides ready-to-share PDFs of housing statistics across the region. You can use this data to generate detailed reports based on your chosen metrics. The statistical data found in our MarketStats tool on your MLS Dashboard is updated by the 15th of each month.
