Compensation Description

The Southeastern Michigan MLS has discovered that there been an issue in the past with the Realcomp MLS pulling in the Compensation Description statement from our MLS.

As a precaution, the MLS Directors are strongly suggesting that agents add graduated commission splits to the agent remarks when entering a listing. Also, using a ‘comma’ in the description may be adding to the issue. It is also suggested to no longer use a comma in the description.

Please contact Lisa Horvath, MLS Directors
