The List Date is the date that all necessary signatures have been obtained on the listing agreement or the effective date of the contract, whichever is later.
BAREIS MLS® has a field for On-Market Date. This is the date the listing should be available and on the market and will be visible to other members on the MLS database. This would be the same as the list date unless the seller does not permit the listing to be included in the MLS database at the time the listing is taken.
Days On Market begins calculating from the On Market Date until the listing becomes Pending.
Cumulative Days On Market tracks the total time on market for a property, regardless of brokerage.
The confidential remarks data field is intended to contain agent-to-agent remarks, showing instructions, financing or escrow information, contact information, and any information deemed confidential pursuant to BAREIS MLS® Rules and Regulations. “For Comp Purposes Only” must appear in the first line of the confidential remarks when a listing is entered for that purpose.
The property description field is restricted to the physical description and condition of the property. No contact information, websites addresses, showing instructions or information directed toward real estate agents or brokers, including compensation or bonuses offered to cooperating brokers may be shown in the property description field. Public remarks appear on client reports and on the public Websites in which BAREIS MLS® participates.
When entering a future date in the On Market Date field, the listing will show up as Unapproved. These listings are suppressed from the market and can only be viewed by the listing agent, broker and BAREIS MLS® Staff. The listing will automatically approve upon the on market date and will then be live on the system for other members to view.
A listing may not be re-entered as New by the same company until it has been off the market for at least 11 days.
