Want visitors to search available MLS property listings directly from your Agent Website?

With AGENTVIEW Agent Website Pro, you can offer Integrated Property Search, giving potential buyers a convenient way to explore available properties while visiting your website.

Before this feature can be activated, your MLS organization must approve the connection. AGENTVIEW helps coordinate that process by collecting the required information and working through the necessary approval steps.

Here's how to get started.

Before You Begin

The MLS approval process requires a few details about your real estate license, brokerage, and MLS membership.

Before starting, it's helpful to have the following information available:

• Your real estate license number and license state

• Your brokerage name and office address

• Your managing broker's name and email address

• The name of your MLS organization

• Your MLS Agent or Member ID

• Your MLS Office ID, if applicable

Good to Know: You won't need to provide your MLS username or password. AGENTVIEW only requests the membership and business information necessary to process your connection.

Step 1: Start Your MLS Connection Request

1. From the left navigation menu, select My Agent Website.

2. Click the Property Search tab.

3. Find the Integrated Property Search section.

4. Click Begin MLS Connection.

This opens the MLS Connection Request form.

The process involves three main stages:

1. Submit Your Information: Provide your agent, brokerage, and MLS membership details.

2. AGENTVIEW Reviews Your Request: Our team reviews your information and begins coordinating the appropriate MLS approval process.

3. Complete Any Required Approvals: Depending on your MLS, you or your broker may need to complete additional verification or authorization steps.

Step 2: Enter Your Agent Information

Start by entering the information associated with your real estate license and MLS membership.

You'll be asked for:

• Legal first and last name

• Email address and phone number

• Real estate license number

• License state

Important: Make sure your information matches your real estate license and MLS membership records.

For example, if your license is registered under your full legal name, use that name rather than a shortened version or nickname.

Accurate information helps avoid unnecessary delays during the approval process.

Step 3: Add Your Brokerage Information

Next, enter the information for the brokerage associated with your MLS membership.

This includes:

• Brokerage legal name

• Office or branch name, if applicable

• Brokerage street address, city, state, and ZIP code

• Office phone number

• Brokerage website, if available

You'll also be asked to provide your Managing Broker or Office Contact information, including their name, email address, and phone number.

Why do we need your broker's information?

Many MLS organizations require approval from your managing broker before allowing MLS property listings to appear on an agent's website.

Your broker may receive an email asking them to approve the connection, sign an agreement, or verify your brokerage information.

Make sure their contact information is correct, and consider letting them know they may receive an approval request.

Step 4: Enter Your MLS Membership Details

Now you'll identify the MLS organization you want connected to your Agent Website.

Complete the available fields:

• MLS State: The state where your MLS operates.

• MLS Organization: The MLS you belong to.

• MLS Agent or Member ID: Your individual MLS membership number.

• MLS Office ID: Your brokerage's MLS office identification number, when applicable.

• Local REALTOR® Association or Board: Your associated organization, if requested.

Not sure where to find your MLS Member ID or Office ID?

These numbers can usually be obtained from your MLS account, brokerage office, or MLS organization.

Connecting More Than One MLS

If you belong to multiple MLS organizations, AGENTVIEW allows you to request additional connections.

1. In the MLS Membership section, click Add Another MLS.

2. Enter the membership information for the additional MLS.

3. Repeat this process for any other MLS organizations you'd like connected.

Additional MLS Fees: Each additional MLS connection has a $50 charge. Some MLS organizations may also require separate data-access or licensing fees.

Any additional MLS requirements will be communicated during the approval process.

Step 5: Review Your Agent Website Information

AGENTVIEW automatically identifies the Agent Website Pro website associated with your request.

In the Website Information section, review:

• Your website or business display name

• Your website URL for MLS approval

This is the website that will be submitted for the MLS connection.

You don't need to purchase a separate website address for the MLS approval process when AGENTVIEW has already provided the necessary website information.

Step 6: Provide Any Additional Information

The Additional Information and Authorization section allows you to provide details that may help with your request.

For example, you may be asked whether you already use an IDX or property-search service on another website.

If you do, select the appropriate response.

You can also use Additional Notes to share helpful information, such as:

• Details about an existing IDX account

• Previous website or MLS connection information

• Special instructions from your brokerage

• Other relevant approval information

You don't need to enter anything that doesn't apply to your situation.

Important: Never include passwords or sensitive login credentials in the Additional Notes field.

Step 7: Review and Authorize Your Request

Before submitting, take a moment to review your information.

Pay special attention to your:

• Real estate license number

• MLS Member ID and Office ID

• Brokerage information

• Managing broker's contact details

• Email address

You'll also need to review and accept the required authorization statements.

These confirm that the information you've provided is accurate and authorize AGENTVIEW to begin processing your MLS connection request.

Step 8: Submit Your MLS Connection Request

Once everything looks correct:

1. Review your completed form.

2. Confirm the required authorization statements.

3. Click Submit MLS Connection Request.

Your request is now submitted for review!

Keep in Mind: Submitting your request does not immediately activate Integrated Property Search. Your connection must first complete the required MLS and brokerage approval process.

What Happens After You Submit?

Once your request is received, AGENTVIEW reviews your information and begins coordinating the connection with the appropriate MLS organization.

Depending on your MLS, additional steps may include:

• Verifying your agent and brokerage information

• Obtaining your managing broker's approval

• Completing MLS or IDX agreements

• Reviewing your website for MLS requirements

• Providing additional documentation

Watch Your Email

During the approval process, AGENTVIEW or your MLS organization may contact you for additional information.

Your broker may also receive an email requesting authorization.

Be sure to monitor your email and respond to any requests promptly. Some approvals cannot move forward until the necessary information or authorization has been provided.

How Long Does MLS Approval Take?

Approval times vary depending on your MLS organization.

Some organizations have a straightforward verification process, while others require additional paperwork, broker authorization, or website reviews.

Because every MLS has its own requirements, there isn't one standard approval timeframe.

AGENTVIEW will help coordinate the process and communicate any additional steps required for your connection.

Can You Continue Building Your Website?

Absolutely!

While your MLS connection is being processed, you can continue working on your Agent Website Pro.

For example, you can:

• Customize your website design and homepage

• Update your About page

• Add client testimonials

• Manage featured listings

• Review your other website settings

Once your MLS connection receives the necessary approvals and is activated, Integrated Property Search can be made available on your existing website.

You won't need to rebuild your Agent Website.

Helpful Tips for a Smooth MLS Connection

• Double-Check Your Information: Make sure your license and MLS membership information are accurate.

• Notify Your Broker: Let them know they may receive an approval or authorization request.

• Watch Your Email: Respond promptly if AGENTVIEW or your MLS requests additional information.

• Have Your Membership IDs Ready: This can make completing the request much easier.

• Keep Working on Your Website: Use the approval period to finish personalizing your Agent Website Pro.

Quick Tip: If you're unsure about your MLS Member ID, Office ID, or brokerage authorization requirements, contact your brokerage administrator or MLS organization before submitting your request. Having the correct information from the beginning can help prevent unnecessary delays.

Once your MLS connection is approved and activated, you'll be one step closer to offering visitors an integrated property-search experience directly through your AGENTVIEW Agent Website Pro.
