Heartland MLS will be implementing updated processes for agents working on private office exclusive listings, taking effect mid-March. Although private office exclusive listings are infrequent and only used when the seller requires extreme privacy, the marketing of these listings must still comply with the National Association of REALTORS’® Clear Cooperation Policy.

To increase transparency and cooperation, a new amendment titled the Private Office Listing Modification to Exclusive Right to Sell Contract will be required to be submitted by the listing agent of a private office exclusive listing at the time of entering the listing into Matrix, along with their Exclusive Right to Sell Agreement. A new input section and status will be available in Matrix to allow only subscribers with the same listing office ID to view the listing in Heartland MLS.
