You're not the listing agent, you're the buyer's agent, so reporting the transaction to the MLS is optional. A frequent complaint that SMLS receives from members is that agents do not include enough detail for these listings to be used as comps, so please add as much detail as possible!

1. You must wait until the transaction has closed to report the sale.
2. You may add the sale within three calendar days following closing* with no penalty. You may add the sale between 4 and 30 days after closing if you're willing to pay a $125 penalty. No listings may be added more than 30 days after closing. *Federal holidays don't count for the initial three-day window. This is the same time period that you have to update a pending listing to sold when you are the listing agent.
3. You must enter accurate property information in all required fields.
4. The listing agent fields (list date, expiration date, etc.) will not be important since the transaction has closed and you're not the listing agent. Do your best with those fields.
5. You must include the required photo of the front, exterior of the structure unless it was a land listing. Do not upload photos to the MLS unless you took the photo yourself or have obtained a license to use it.
6. Once everything is entered and published with the status "Sold Before Process MLS," email SMLS staff with the MLS # and staff will change the listing agent to the placeholder agent name "House Non Member."
