Brokers (known as Participants in the MLS) can choose how they want copyright matters handled on their behalf. There are two options as shown below.

Option 1 — Assignment of Copyright

Brokers who select the “assignment” option assign the rights of their firm’s listing data to Stellar MLS. Doing so gives Stellar MLS the authority to pursue infringement action against any entity on the broker’s behalf that uses their data without obtaining proper permission. Brokers who chose this option will have their data included in the quarterly Copyright submission report filed by Stellar MLS to the governing copyright office. Brokers will receive a license to use their data in any way they choose, but Stellar MLS is responsible for copyright matters related to their firm’s listing data.

Option 2 — License of Copyright

Brokers who select the “license” option are licensing their firm’s listing data to Stellar MLS, but do not permit Stellar MLS to pursue any action related to copyright infringements on their behalf. Choosing this option means the broker handles all copyright matters related to their firm’s listing data, and Stellar MLS will employ no efforts whatsoever to detect or hinder third parties that are not authorized by the firm to use the Participant’s contribution.

The Tax ID field inside of the MLS (Matrix) is required. At this time, if you do not have a Tax ID for the property enter the address instead to satisfy the requirement.

No. Both are completely separate jurisdictions. The way of doing business between PR and FL does not change, but it does facilitate access to information for the REFERRAL market.

No. They are separate jurisdictions, regulated by separate governments with different applicable laws and regulations. In order to list properties in both PR and FL you would need to obtain separate MLS accounts for each reflecting the correct license information for each jurisdiction.

You have to be member of any of our Local Boards and Puerto Rico Association of REALTORS (State Level), as Secondary Board. You don’t have to pay NAR dues again (National Level). The same rule would happen from PR to FL but would need 2 separate MLS ID’s to list under both jurisdictions.

Yes, as long as both, agents and their representing broker (brokerage which is reflected on the listing agreement) are actively licensed in both jurisdictions and both offices are reflected on the listing agreement.

There are many benefits, from different points of view — technology, compliance, mobile applications, reports, maps, among others. However, one of the most significant benefits is the creation of the bridge between PR and FL facilitating the market of REFERRALS between REALTORS® from both jurisdictions.

The Compensation section of a MLS listing shows a brokerage working with a buyer how much they will be compensated if they bring a buyer to that listing.

Offers of compensation can be any of the following:

• A percentage of the sale price (x%)
• A flat dollar amount ($yyyy)
• A percentage of the sale price adjusted for a flat dollar amount (i.e. x%-$299)

Common mistakes entered into the Compensation field to avoid:

• Entering the full commission to be received from the seller instead of the commission to be shared with the broker bringing the buyer.
• Entering the percentage of your commission that you plan to share, versus a percentage of the sale price.

This refers to a brokerage relationship where the broker is carrying out a transaction for a buyer, but does not represent the buyer and does not owe the buyer any fiduciary responsibilities.

You would have to purchase an unlicensed assistant account for them. They will then have their own account and can then enter listings. Their access level can be set by the broker to either enter listings only for one agent or for the entire office.

If this is a direct feed from the MLS, correct the listing in the MLS first. However, we have no control over third party sites. If the listing is still incorrect, contact the site directly.

Please use the “pending” status.

When Short Sale is selected under Special Sales Provision, the words “Short Sale” must also be added to the public remarks.

A full-service listing is the most common type where the listing broker is carrying out a variety of services to market the property. A limited service listing is an “a la carte” contract where the listing broker is doing certain functions for a set price. For example, the broker receives a set dollar amount only to enter the listing into the MLS.

Exclusive Right to Sell – listing broker has the EXCLUSIVE right to list property and no other broker can list the property during the listing agreement period. If the listing sells during the period of the agreement, the broker is owed compensation, even if the seller found their own buyer.

Exclusive Agency – In Puerto Rico this is called a Semi-Exclusive listing. While the listing broker has the exclusive right to list the property, the seller maintains the right to find their own buyer and not owe the listing broker compensation. They cannot employ the services of another broker though.

Exclusive Listing with Exception – this is an exclusive right of sale listing where there is a “named person” in the listing agreement. If that person buys (perhaps a relative or friend of the seller or someone who has already seen the property before it was listed), then no compensation is owed.

This would be commercial property. Under the Exterior Tab and Property Style field, there is an option for “Mixed Use.”

When an email is sent to a customer, the customer is given a link to your portal site where they can view the listings.

When entering a listing, under the Listing Distribution section of the Realtor tab, be sure to say “yes” for Internet Y/N/. Also make sure that the Realtor.com box is checked.

It is the distribution of listings from the MLS system to websites (often called publishers) for the purpose of advertisement (i.e. listing display). Distribution typically starts when a listing broker agrees, whether through a direct opt-in method or through a syndication service, such as ListHub, to syndicate his or her listings.

According to the National Association of REALTORS® and the policy of Stellar MLS, the listing data that resides in the MLS system belongs to the listing broker. Therefore, any decision to syndicate is up to the listing broker
