Wicked Smart Questions

  • I had a listing expire, and I would like to reactivate the listing. How can I do this?

    Reactivating a listing may be done only within the first ten days following the listing’s expiration date. The office broker or office administrator may do this, or MLS PIN staff may upon written request signed by the broker.

  • I have a listing that has been Expired for more than 10 days. Do I have to re-enter a whole new listing?

    You have the ability to Clone the data (with or without the photos) from the expired listing. This can be done in the Listings section of Pinergy. Click New Listing and then click the Clone button. Enter the expired listing’s list number and click the Clone Listing button. You will want to review the information for accuracy and be sure to update any necessary data before posting the listing. Click Save to save, or click Save and Clone Photos to clone the photos too (see “Is it possible to clone listing photos?” below).

  • Why doesn’t Pinergy allow me to cancel my listing?

    Only the broker or someone that the broker has authorized through MLS PIN has the ability to cancel a listing. If you are the broker of record, the option to cancel will appear in the dropdown menu for Status. Click on Listings in the navigation bar and find the listing you want to cancel. Then click the status (which appears to the right of the list number) and in the Status dropdown menu, select “Canceled” (updating the off-market date if needed). Finally, click Save Changes.

  • I made a mistake on the list date. How can I correct it?

    A request to change the list date may be made in writing using either an MLS PIN Status Change Form or a fax cover sheet with your company name/logo on it. You will need to note the list number, the street address, and the correct list date. A copy of the listing agreement showing the list date is also required.

  • I made a mistake on the list price when posting my listing. How can I correct it?

    A request to change the list price may be made in writing using either an MLS PIN Status Change Form or a fax cover sheet with your company name/logo on it. You will need to note the list number, the street address, and the correct list price.

  • How do I correct the Selling Agent and Selling Office on a listing that I have changed to Sold?

    To protect the integrity of our database, only MLS PIN staff can change the information once a listing’s status has been changed to Sold. In order to update the Selling Agent and Selling Office information, please fax or email a written request using a fax cover sheet or a form with your company name/logo. Please note the list number, the street address, and the correct Selling Agent and Selling Office identification numbers for the listing.

  • How long does a listing have to be off the market so that the Days on Market (DOM) do not carry over to the next listing?

    If the old listing has been off the market, uninterrupted, for at least 60 full days immediately preceding the entry of the new listing for that property, the DOM from the old listing will not be added to the DOM for the new listing. Also, the DOM will not carry over if the old listing is sold.

    Pinergy allows you to enter up to 42 photos per listing.
