Helpful Tips When Entering / Modifying Listings
Helpful tips when entering / modifying listings
Proper Case:
Please enter all information in proper case (mix of upper and lower case). This makes all the listings consistent and easier to read, especially when listings are displayed on the Internet.
User Names:
Please make sure the User Name on the listing corresponds to the Listing Agent’s name.
Compensation Codes:
The Compensation is entered in the Compensation Code fields of BB (Buyer’s Broker), SU (SubAgent), and/or TR (Transaction Coordinator).
Percentage (P): The first digit being the full percentage point and the second digit being the partial percentage (no decimal is used). The “P” represents percent.
Example for Percent: P30 (3% offered)
In the event there is a DUAL commission split the two digits would be followed by a letter code:
C = 100 (means above $100,000) I = 600 (means above $600,000)
E = 200 (means above $200,000) J = 700 (means above $700,000)
F = 300 (means above $300,000) K = 800 (means above $800,000)
G = 400 (means above $400,000) L = 900 (means above $900,000)
H = 500 (means above $500,000) M = 1000 (means above $1,000,000)
Example for Dual Percent: P35C25 (3.5% offered on the first 100K, 2.5% offered after $100,000)
Dollar (D): If a set dollar figure is offered instead of percentage, use the “D” to represent the dollar figure being offered as commission.
Example for Dollar: D2000 ($2000 offered)
When offering a selling bonus to a selling broker, the listing broker must specify the terms of the bonus offer according to the following guideline code:
B dollar amount/terms/expiration date of offer (if applies)
Examples:
B1000/APT/010108 ($1000 Bonus on Accepted Price & Terms Offer Good until January 1, 2008)
B1000/FPT/010108 ($1000 Bonus on Full Price & Terms Offer Good until January 1, 2008
Bonus information may be placed in "Other" field.
Vacant Land Street Numbers:
If there is no street number assigned to the property, use a zero (0) and not the parcel or lot number.
