Sales Information Change Request (SICR) Form
CRMLS Compliance has a new request form!
If the Buyer’s Agent or Co-Buyer’s Agent information on a Closed listing needs to be modified, the CRMLS Sales Information Change Request (SICR) Form must be completed and submitted to CRMLS. The use of this form ensures that all parties involved in the transaction agree with the requested change and prevents CRMLS from having to confirm such information, which ultimately lengthens the time it takes to correct the information.
The new request form and explanation of the process is available on our website.
