As for Special Listing Conditions- agents want to search ‘age restricted’ or ‘not’, ‘short sale’ or ‘not a short sale’- if it’s not a required listing

As for Special Listing Conditions, it has never been a required field and I understand what and why they want that but as is much of the MLS system, the information available is only as good as what the Agents put in and we can’t police everybody on every field. All we can do is educate them as best we can and hope over time they use the tools available appropriately. If they want to suggest changes to policy, they will need to get with their representatives on the MLS committee and work with them. That’s the only way something like this will change. Business Rules are all governed by the MLS Committee and the ARMLS Board of Directors.
