You get a new listing, you try to enter it in the system, but you get a duplicate warning…How come?

Prior to submitting a listing, MRMLS Matrix will notify you with a warning if your property already exists in the system.  Per the CARETS Data Integrity Standards, entering an existing active, back-up, pending, hold or withdrawn listing is a violation.

Questions and Answers:

Q. How can I check to see if my listing is already in the MRMLS Matrix System?

A.  You can check to see if your listing is already in the system in a couple different ways.  The best way is to run either an “Address” or “APN” search in MRMLS Matrix.

Q. How can I report duplicate listings as violations anonymously?

A. Reporting a violation link is included at the bottom of every listing on an Agent Full display.   It appears as it does below -

Note: At MRMLS, when a violation is reported, the reporting agent is given the option to submit the violation anonymously. Under no circumstances is the reporting party’s name passed on to the person in violation.
