Introduction
Lofty manages four (4) types of MLS application processes: Agreement, Instruction, Online, and Vendor. These processes are designed to streamline your MLS applications and provide you with updates on their progress, as each MLS processes their application differently. Depending on the MLS you are applying to, you will go through one of the four processes.
Instruction
This article covers the Instruction process, which begins when you submit an MLS application in the CMS and follow the MLS’s specific instructions to complete the application. Once you submit an MLS application in CMS, you will go through the following three stages:
1. Initiate Application
After submitting your application, you will need to follow the instructions provided to proceed with your MLS application. This may involve contacting the MLS directly or logging into the MLS platform.
Estimated Time: It usually takes two (2) business days for you (the agent) to initiate the application, but the sooner the better.
What Happens: You will receive the instructions via email or you could click the "Instruction" hyperlink through CMS. Carefully review and follow each step provided.
What You Can Do:
- Complete the actions outlined in the instructions.
- Once completed, click the "I've Completed" button in the CMS.
2. MLS Reviews the Application
Once you complete the initiation steps, the MLS will begin reviewing your application upon receiving all the needed information.
Estimated Time: This review typically takes about three (3) business days, but the timeline may vary depending on the MLS.
What Happens: The MLS will review your submitted application and may conduct compliance checks.
What You Can Do: If your application has been pending at this stage for over 2 business days, you can click the "Request Update" button in CMS to notify our MLS Support team. Our team will contact the MLS directly to confirm the status and provide you with an update.
3. Data Integration
After your application is approved by the MLS, we will begin integrating the listing data into your CMS.
Estimated Time: This typically takes one (1) business day after MLS approval, but may take up to 10 business days for new MLSs.
