The Public Remarks section in the MLS is designed to provide a concise yet comprehensive description of the property or transaction being listed. It offers an opportunity to highlight key features, amenities, and any unique selling points that could attract potential buyers. However, it's important to remember that this section is exclusively reserved for details directly related to the property or transaction in question.
Guidelines and Limitations
To maintain professionalism and adhere to industry standards, it's crucial to abide by certain guidelines and limitations when crafting public remarks for the MLS:
No Contact Information: Public remarks cannot contain any contact information, including phone numbers, email addresses, or physical addresses. This restriction ensures that all inquiries and communications are appropriately managed through the designated channels, promoting fairness and transparency in the selling process.
No Compensation Details: Avoid including any information related to compensation, such as commission rates or financial incentives for buyers or agents. Such details are best discussed privately between the involved parties and should not be disclosed in the public remarks.
No Website URLs: While online resources can be valuable for providing additional information about a property, URLs to external websites are not permitted in the public remarks. Instead, focus on conveying relevant details within the confines of the MLS listing itself.
No Office Information: Public remarks should solely pertain to the subject property or transaction and should not include any references to the listing agent's or brokerage's office information. This ensures that the focus remains on the property's features and benefits, rather than external affiliations.
