Frequently Asked Questions
We get it! Big changes = big questions. Below are answers to some burning questions you may have about the new MLS Rules and Regulations, and what it means when we say we're championing a new compliance culture for our marketplace.
We understand that a “shift in compliance” can feel like an overwhelming ask and task, but ABoR staff is here to help you! We ask for some simple principles to ensure you’re staying in compliance:
Always take an extra minute to review your listings BEFORE submitting to Active (A) status.
If you have the time, save the listing as Incomplete and you can even ask staff to take a look at any of the most important fields we look for—if we catch something ahead of time, that means no violation and cleaner data from the start!
When a mistake IS made…don’t panic!
Our goal is always to reach out, educate, and try to correct the data in a timely manner.
So our ask here is to always prioritize our notices that come to your inbox from listingdatachecker@corelogic.com and support@abor.com—we’re reaching out to ask for a correction to be made within one business day, and if you have questions we’re here to educate you on why the update needs to be made.
Learn from your previous violations.
Within a majority of violations, escalation only occurs when the same rule is broken multiple times (or requests to make fixes are ignored). If we flagged one listing for a rule violation, we hope you’ll keep that in mind for your next listing.
