Make sure your contact information is included on listings that go to other broker’s websites! Due to 2022 NAR policy updates, Flexmls is making changes to comply with the Broker Attribution requirement. When displaying your listings online via IDX feeds from the MLS, other brokerages have always had to include the name of the listing office and agent…. Now, NAR requires the addition of an email OR phone number, whichever the listing broker prefers. This has created the need for brokers / offices to indicate what should be displayed on their listings moving forward. As such, FlexMLS have added the capability for those logged in at the Office level to turn on broker attribution.  This setting is disabled by default. No changes will go into effect unless this preference is made active by the Office.

In your Office account, go to General Preferences to individually manage Broker Attribution for your entire office (under the Broker Attribution tab).

If your Office wishes to make Broker Attribution active, they can enable this in the General Preferences under the new Broker Attribution tab in one of two ways:

• Office enters a default email address or phone number for all Office listings
  OR
• Office allows each Listing Agent to decide:
  • If the Broker Attribution field is designated to the Listing agent by the Office, the agent can enable their own Broker Attributions under General Preferences in the new Broker Attribution tab.
    • The listing agent enters a default email address or phone number for all Listing Agent Listings
      AND
    • The listing agent can set the Broker Attribution field when adding or editing a listing.

If the Broker Attribution field is designated to a listing agent, all of the agent’s listings will inherit the email address or phone number entered and will be included in data feeds. 

Note: If this setting is disabled at the Office level, the preference will not be viewable at the agent level.
