1. Updates to CRMLS Rules & Policy
Changes to citation review process and more
Effective January 2, 2021, the CRMLS Rules and Regulations and CRMLS Citation Policy have been updated and published on the Compliance page of the CRMLS website.
We encourage you to read a two-page summary of the rule changes, located here: https://go.crmls.org/crmls-rules-policy-change-summary
A brief summary of three of the most impactful changes follows.
- The citation review procedure is being revised to the extent that an administrative/written review will become the default process.
- For any MLS Rule violation that would result in a fourth citation in any calendar year, the Subscriber and the Participant’s Office Manager or Designated Broker shall appear before a Professional Standards hearing panel. (Read the document located at the link above for a full explanation.)
- The Service must, upon request, promptly provide a Participant (or the Participant’s designee) a data feed containing, at minimum, all active MLS listing content input into the MLS by or on behalf of the Participant and all of the Participant’s off-market listing content available in the MLS system.
