SCWMLS is excited to announce the launch of CheckMate, our new compliance platform, which went live October 1, 2025. This system is designed to improve accuracy, streamline compliance, and provide greater support to you and your agents.
Transition Timeline
October 1–31, 2025 | Educational Period
- No fines will be issued. Instead, agents will receive courtesy notices and reminders to help adjust to the new process.
- MLS staff will be available in-person, over the phone, or virtually to support you
November 1, 2025 | Formal Enforcement Begins
- Fines will be assessed to the Broker in accordance with SCWMLS policy.
- Billing will continue to run through our current system—no changes to invoicing.
Why We’re Sharing This Now
We want to ensure you and your agents are fully prepared. This advance notice allows you to:
- Review and adjust internal processes ahead of launch.
- Take advantage of the phased rollout, which emphasizes education first.
- Reinforce with your agents the importance of accurate and complete listing data prior to activation.
What’s Not Changing
To help your office prepare with confidence, here’s what will remain the same:
-
Listing Input Process: Agents will continue entering listings directly into Paragon, just as they do today.
-
Rules & Policies: SCWMLS Rules, Guidelines, and Fine Policies are still in place; CheckMate is simply the tool we’ll use to manage compliance.
-
Support Channels: You’ll still have access to the MLS team by phone, email, and in-person for assistance.
-
Communication to Brokers, Managers, etc.: We will continue to notify you if a violation or warning is assigned.
Resources & Support
-
Fine Schedule: Please take time to review our fine schedule with your team.
-
Office Hours: MLS staff will host open office hours, Monday–Friday from 12–3 PM throughout October and November where members can drop in for direct support.
-
Tailored Training: If your office would like a customized training session on SCWMLS Rules and Guidelines, please contact us at support@wisre.com to schedule.
We are committed to making this transition as smooth as possible by prioritizing education,
guidance, and partnership.
