MLS Options for Sellers

The National Assocation of REALTORS® has adopted a new MLS policy, “Multiple Listing Options for Sellers.”

This policy will exist in conjunction with Clear Cooperation Policy and other MLS policies to provide sellers and their agents more options and choice when marketing a property, while also supporting fair housing.

Please note that the new policy does not change an MLS’s local mandatory submission deadlines or CCP and its requirement to file a listing with the MLS within one (1) business day from public marketing.

The VMLS will keep members updated on any policy changes for our MLS system. More information on the new NAR policy is linked in the button below.
