Help, My Listing is Missing! (a checklist)
Wednesday, July 25, 2007 - By: Brian D
At AgentAdvantage, we strive to present accurate and up-to-date listing information for our members. Occasionally, we do encounter technical issues when receiving IDX data feeds from your MLS. While we diligently work to correct these issues when they arise, we ask that you check the following information regarding your listings before you call our MLS staff.
Did you check the box on your MLS submittal form to allow the listing to be transmitted to the Internet?
Depending on your board’s regulations, your listings may not automatically be sent to your IDX feed (then to be sent to vendors like Homes.com) unless you check this box on the form.
Is your listing in Pending or Contingent status?
We will not receive a listing out of your IDX feed until it is active.
Is your listing a property type other than Residential?
We often do not receive alternative property types such as duplexes, rentals, or commercial property.
When did you submit your listing to your MLS?
Are you receiving listings from your MLS?
In order to receive listings into your WebsiteAdvantage or ListingAdvantage website, you need to be connected to your IDX feed. In order for these listings to then appear on the portal website, Homes.com, listings must be set to export from your website to the portal in your Control Panel. Check whether or not you are connected to your feed in the Listing Export Settings of your Control Panel.
In the Listing Source column, you should see the name of your MLS/Board(s) from which your receive listings. Make sure that under Import Options you have checked the corresponding box. Under Export Options ensure that the box corresponding to Homes.com is checked.
If you have checked each item on this list and your listing has not appeared on Homes.com, please call our Member Services staff at 800-889-3726, or email .
