Today my message is about Rental Listing Compensation. For those REALTORS who may not be aware, rental listings on our MLS must include an offer of compensation. There are three fields where you can enter the compensation, and at least one of them needs to be filled in with a number other than zero.

There is a short webinar recording on this subject that you can access here that gives examples of rental listings and various offers of compensation. Note that the name of the fields may vary depending on the MLS system you are using to enter the information. Additional information can also be found on the onekeymlsny.com Help Center Video page where you can view a previously recorded video message I delivered on this subject as well.

If you are unsure about how to handle your rental listings or how to enter the compensation, please discuss this with your Broker.

Thanks for your time and wishing all of you a happy and safe summer!
