Welcome to the January 2022 Broker Report. CRMLS is broker-driven. We work to keep our brokers as informed and up-to-speed as possible. This information is available for you to share with your agents and office staff.
An update from our CEO
As of Wednesday, January 5th, CRMLS no longer sends “Coming Soon” listings to IDX feeds. Websites that use IDX feeds will no longer display or receive data about “Coming Soon” listings.
We’ve made this change to be more consistent with other MLSs that CRMLS has data share agreements with. Keeping IDX feeds the same throughout CRMLS and other California MLSs prevents data discrepancies and other challenges.
This change came about after discussion, voting, and approval by the CRMLS Board of Directors.

You’ll find the Dashboard adds more to your MLS experience, at no additional cost, in one central location.
