MLS United Comparable Data Entry Option

Information and Help Notes for Flex MLS Entry Procedure


Beginning Monday, March 25, 2024 you may use the Comparable Data Entry Option (Comp Data Entry) property type to enter a property’s information that was not a listing within MLS United, but an MLS United Participant or Subscriber represented one side of the transaction. (MLS United Rules and Regulations 2.5, A)


How to enter a Comp Data Entry Property

In Residential Add Listing: You will select Comp Data Entry as you Property Type (NOTE: Comp Data Entry is ONLY available for the Residential property type)

  • Reminder: This is not a listing. This is a Comp Data Entry property.
  • Have your Authorization form completed and signed by the Seller and Buyer'
  • Have at least one photo to be uploaded.
  • You will need to make this Active, then Pend it and finally Close it out.
  • If you only represented one side of the transaction, select “Comp Data Entry- (mu.compdata)” agent/office option for the other side of the non-represented party.(EX: if you represented the buyer side, then use Comp Data Entry for the listing agent information when entering the data)
  • Listing Date = the date of entry.
  • Expiration Date = 30 days from date of entry.
  • Public Remarks: Description of the property only.
  • Agent/Private Remarks: Any additional information about the property or transaction that would be of interest to those reviewing comps.


After you have added the Comp Data Entry as ACTIVE

  • Upload Photos – At least ONE front facing exterior photo of the property is required, or rendering of the front facing exterior if the property is under construction/to be built.
  • Upload a copy of the Comp Data Entry Authorization signed by the buyer and seller allowing entry. This is a private document. Any Comp Data Entry properties entered without an uploaded agreement will be purged from the system.
  • Immediately change the status to Pending.
  • Pending Date = Contract date
  • After the status is saved to Pending, close out the Comp Data Entry.
  • Closing Date = Closing Date
  • If you only represented one side of the transaction, select “Comp Data Entry-(mu.compdata)” agent/office option for the other side of the non-represented party.(if you represented the seller side, then use Comp Data Entry for the buyer agent information)
  • Reminder: Sales Notes are your friend if you need to describe anything specific to the transaction.
  • Flex has created a custom Guided Help for this data entry process to help you through the entry process.
