Delayed Entry Listings Clarified

To help avoid confusion, we’d like to briefly clarify how Delayed Entry listings should be used. A Delayed Entry listing occurs when a seller directs the listing agent to submit the property to the MLS outside of the standard submission timeframe. Until the listing is entered into the MLS, it is treated as an Office Exclusive. For this reason, both scenarios are addressed in the Owner Listing Opt-Out Authorization form (CVR 145).

In many cases, the Coming Soon status may be a better option. The Coming Soon period was extended to 45 days last year and offers an important benefit: Days on Market (DOM) do not begin accruing until the listing moves to Active status. By contrast, Delayed Entry listings begin accruing DOM from the seller’s ratification date, regardless of when the listing is entered into the MLS.

If you have questions about which option is appropriate for a listing, please contact the Compliance team at compliance@cvrmls.com

FinCen Clause Now Available in TransactionDesk

The U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) reporting requirements took effect on Sunday, March 1, 2026.

To assist agents with notifying their clients of this change, a new system clause has been added to the TransactionDesk clause library. The clause can be added to CVR MLS forms for transactions affected by this new requirement.

Residential Audit Notices Reduced

Thank you for your patience as we worked with our technology partner to address the frequency of our random residential listing audits.

CVR MLS will continue conducting these audits to support strong data quality, but the cadence has been adjusted to reduce disruption to your day-to-day business. We appreciate your feedback and your patience as we worked with Cotality to refine this process.

Reminder: Assigning Lockboxes Correctly

As you prepare your listings for the spring market, take a moment to confirm that each SentriLock lockbox is properly assigned. Assigning the lockbox helps ensure your listing activity reports remain accurate and keeps your lockbox inventory up to date. Lockboxes can be assigned through Listing Input in Matrix or directly in the SentriKey app.
