Questions to Get Started
•
Does my MLS Syndicate?
•
•
If so, how?
Through what channels?
•
Does my MLS give me the agent the ability to
turn off that syndication?
•
Does it give the broker the option?
Take Control of Your Listings
1. Turn off syndication at the MLS level.
2. Add your KWLS listings manually.
3. Turn syndication back on (if required).
4. Listing landing page will direct visitors
back to you, the listing agent.
