Updates to Rules and Regulations
-
Section 1.17 Listing Photos A listing will have at least one photo uploaded at the time the listing is submitted to the system. The primary photo shall be an exterior front elevation photo of the subject property.

Section 5, Note for Compensation Specified on Each Listing Specifying the compensation on each listing is necessary because the cooperating broker has the right to know what his compensation shall be prior to his endeavor to sell. * *The compensation specified on listings filed with the multiple listing service shall appear in one of two forms. The essential and appropriate requirement by an association multiple listing service is that the information to be published shall clearly inform the participants as to the compensation they will receive in cooperative transactions, unless advised otherwise by the listing broker, in writing, in advance of submitting an offer to purchase. The amount entered may be any value, from zero or greater. MLS United does not set or suggest compensation values or the cooperative division of compensation. An offer of compensation entered into the MLS United Service fields must appear in one of the forms:
- by showing a percentage of the gross selling price
- by showing a definite dollar amount
(both of the above may be any value from zero or greater)
UPDATE to Existing Category 1 and 2 Violation

1.7 Photos. Photos taken for MLS use and distribution shall not include any signage other than subdivision entrance sign and/or subdivision amenities.

(Section 18.3.1 and Section 1.1.17 MLS United Rules and Regulations UPDATED 10/2023) Listings are required to have the exterior front elevation of the subject property as the primary photo.
-
2.6 AVAILABILITY TO SHOW. It is prohibited to intentionally misrepresent the availability of a property for showing.

UPDATE TO 3.13 AND 3.14 To align with Rules and Regulations for Clarification
-
3.13 RIGHT OF COOPERATING BROKER IN PRESENTATION OF OFFER The cooperating broker (subagent or buyer agent) or his representative has the right to participate in the presentation to the seller or lessor of any offer he secures to purchase or lease. He does not have the right to be present at any discussion or evaluation of that offer by the seller or lessor and the listing broker. However, if the seller or lessor gives written instructions to the listing broker that the cooperating broker not be present when an offer the cooperating broker secured is presented, the cooperating broker has the right to a copy of the seller’s or lessor’s written instructions. None of the foregoing diminishes the listing broker’s right to control the establishment of appointments for such presentations. (Section 2.3 MLS United Rules and Regulations Updated 10/2023)
-
3.14 RIGHT OF LISTING BROKER IN PRESENTATION OF COUNTER-OFFER The listing broker or his representative has the right to participate in the presentation of any counter-offer made by the seller or lessor. He does not have the right to be present at any discussion or evaluation of a counter-offer by the purchaser or lessee (except when the cooperating broker is a subagent). However, if the purchaser or lessee gives written instructions to the cooperating broker that the listing broker not be present when a counter- offer is presented, the listing broker has the right to a copy of the purchaser’s or lessee’s written instructions. (Section 2.4 MLS United Rules and Regulations Update 10/2023)
