Compliance Corner
Did you know that CRMLS now handles Compliance for Rapattoni?
Compliance is an important part of real estate. It ensures that everyone works with accurate and timely information. It protects you, your clients, and your fellow agents and brokers.
CRMLS has several resources for your reference if you have Rapattoni Compliance questions, including the correct forms to exclude a listing from the MLS and Buyer’s Agent Change Requests. There’s a dedicated FAQ for the most common concerns, and live chat available Monday through Friday.
Have an exclusion form?
The process on filing a C.A.R. Form SELM or equivalent exclusion form has changed! Instead of sending your forms to your local Association, you will now submit your exclusion forms to CRMLS online by following the steps below.
- Obtain a compliant seller-signed exclusion form within two business days of the effective date of the listing agreement (the effective date is either 1. the beginning date on the listing agreement, or 2. the last date in which all necessary signatures were obtained, whichever is later).
- Within the same 2 business days, go to https://go.crmls.org/crmls-rapattoni-exclude-listing/ and submit an online form.
Please note: You will be prompted to attach your physical seller-signed form within in the online submission form.
Once successfully submitted, you will receive a confirmation email which will include a copy of all submitted answers and a link to your uploaded form.
For more information, or to chat live with a Compliance Analyst Monday-Friday between 8:30-4pm, visit https://go.crmls.org/compliance/.
