To help you better serve your clients, enhance listing accuracy and preserve the integrity of the MLS® data, the following property listing fields on BREB’s MLS® System will be made mandatory as outlined below.
Property Identification Number (PIN)
As of May 2, all new listings must include the Property Identification Number (PIN). The PIN can easily be accessed via GeoWarehouse and for most properties should auto-populate when a listing is entered using the new Add/Edit. Using this unique 9-digit number identifies if a property is registered, who is on the title and if there are any mortgages and liens.
Room Dimensions
Starting on June 1, room dimensions will be mandatory on all new residential property listings. It will be the responsibility of the listing agent to measure each room and include the room sizes on all residential listings.
Square Footage
The square footage requirements on all new residential property listings will also be mandatory as of July 1. BREB is working to make the appropriate source of information available to Members. More details on this initiative will follow in the coming weeks.
Attachments Viewable After Listing is Unavailable
All attachments will remain viewable in REALM™, Stratus and Matrix after the listing is unavailable.
