Do you know how the CDOM (Cumulative Days on Market) resets on the MLS?
CDOM will reset if a listing has been off the market for at least 31 days. When counting the days, don’t include the list date, and the off-market date, there should be 31 days in between!

Our MLS requires that all delayed listings must have the Multiple Listing Options for Sellers Authorization Form be completed & signed, and either sent to listings@wisre.com or uploaded to the associated docs as a private doc.
Remember! The show date cannot go past 45 days from the list date.
For the MLS listing itself, all that is required is a valid show date, a valid address, and a bona fide list price. Be sure to update all the information before going Active!

Security Alert: Reported Scam Targeting REALTORS®
We want to make members aware of a potential scam that has now been reported by multiple members.
Members have received unsolicited text messages from individuals claiming to be relocating from out of state and requesting a Zoom meeting. When members asked for meeting details, they were sent links that required downloading software or files.
At this time, the exact intent of the scam is unclear. It may involve malware, attempts to access personal or business information, or broader real estate fraud.
In one reported case, a seller has placed a fraud alert on their property with the Register of Deeds as a precaution.
Please remember:
- Do not download files or software from unknown contacts
- Be cautious of unsolicited relocation inquiries
- Create and share your own verified meeting links
- Report suspicious activity to your broker and appropriate authorities
