Imported Listings Are Now Editable Through the Online Office!
When Point2 initially started the listing import process of receiving listing feeds from MLS's, we did not have the functionality to edit the listings imported from the MLS into the Online Office (nor could our members remove listings from the Online Office if needed). All updates made to these listings had to be done on the MLS end and from there updated through the listing feed to the Online Office.
Point2 Agent members are now able to add additional listing photos to their imported listings, as we only receive the first 15 photos on the listing from the MLS (and our members possessing the Professional or Premium membership are given the ability to add up to 36).
That being said, once an Agent or Broker has edited the photos of an imported listing (whether they have added photos or made changes to existing ones) within the Online Office, that particular listing will no longer receive photo updates from the MLS.
Agents and Brokers can also now add attachments to their listings if they wish to do so. With a Point2 Agent account, users have the ability to add listing brochures and any other listing attachments they wish to their imported listings.
In addition, we included the functionality of the Seller Area Login, which can now be enabled through the Online Office for imported listings. This means that Agents have the ability to send their Seller a login so that they may login to the Agent's site to see listing syndication statistics and reports for their listing.
* Agents and Brokers that are not using syndication through their MLS, are already provided with the functionality mentioned above through the Online Office, this information is only new to members who have listings that have been imported from the MLS.
If you have questions about syndication through your MLS, please feel free to check out this page on our website for more information.
