Sales Reporting



Don't Forget ... when reporting the sale of a listing, please ensure all information is updated in the listing prior to changing the listing to the Closed status. The listing should have accurate and complete information regarding the final house style, number of rooms, square footage, additional features, etc. If there is any further information that would assist other agents or appraisers in understanding the changes made to a listing, please add comments in the Internal Remarks field prior to changing the listing to the Closed status. If you need further assistance, please contact the Member Success Team at [email protected].
