MLS TIPS TO REMEMBER:
  • Make sure to save your listing as incomplete and upload pictures before publishing. You must have at least one exterior photo uploaded before making your listing "live" on the MLS
  • Only Brokers can withdraw listings.
  • When searching for anything in Matrix that requires you to enter information into a free form field (i.e. street name, subdivision name, etc.) please remember to use and asterisk before and after the word. For example: Street Name *Sandpiper*
     
  • When Closing a Listing Sale Agent or Selling Agent really means "Buyers Agent", please be sure to close listings correctly to give credit to the appropriate Buyers Agent. For Non MLS agents, Type non* or NonMLS126 in the MLS ID field.
  •  
  •  When entering lots that are on the water it is important to not mark them as waterfront and interior.
     
  •  
  • The subdivision reference number will be the first 4 numbers of the tax id.
  • To report a suspected violation in Matrix, you will have to send an email directly to Jessica@ccarmail.com. *Please remember to include the MLS # in the subject line and provide a detailed description of the violation. (As always the process will be anonymous)
