ARMLS Members,
Please find ARMLS updated Rules & Regulations here. A link to the updated Rules and Regulations has also been posted to the MLS Message of the Day and the MLS System on the right hand side under "Arkansas Regional MLS".
We have changed the procedure for handling listing violations. In the past, violations were handled internally by staff. We will be instituting a system called MLS Data Checker which will automatically check all listings on a daily basis for listing violations. MLS Data Checker (“MDC”) is an application that validates the quality and accuracy of all MLS data and enforces the correction of violations.
Please note that per section 9.1.1 entitled "Fines" of our 2013 MLS Rules and Regulations, all listing violations will allow a grace period of five (5) days to correct the violation in question before a fine is assessed. Fines will be assessed at an escalating fee of $50 for every five (5) days the violation has not been corrected. Violation e-mails will be sent to the primary e-mail address of the listing agent as entered in the MLS system, the designated office contact, and the designated REALTOR® of the office. A fourth violation of any rule within a twelve month rolling period is considered a continual infringement of our rules and regulations and services are subject to suspension or termination, as prescribed by the MLS Committee.
At this time, we ask that every member please go into their individual user record and make sure that the e-mail address on file is correct. If not, please contact the NABOR office at 479-973-0808. We rely on our membership to update us on contact information changes; therefore, having an incorrect e-mail address for a violation notification will not be considered as grounds for dismissal of a violation fine.
Please let us know if you have any questions.
Thank You!
Tina Gaston
