What does my Agent Profile consist of?
Your Agent Profile Page is your personal bio and photo. Your basic membership consists of a profile of 8 bullets of up to 90 characters (including spaces and punctuation). From your profile someone can exclusively search your inventory as well as send you an e-mail. Your office name and phone number are also displayed.
How do my listings get on the Internet?
ListingLink has agreements with the majority of the Multiple Listing Services within California. Your listings are downloaded, processed by ListingLink and updated on the Internet. Currently we receive active single family residential homes and condos from most of the Multiple Listing Services.
Do all the data fields from my listing get produced on the Internet? Which fields do?
Each MLS is a little different. We primarily take price, bed, bath, amenities, address, office.
How often are my listings and photos updated?
Listings are updated from your MLS every 24-48 hours and in a few cases every 7 days.
The MLS photos, one per listing, are updated 2-3 times a week depending upon which MLS you belong to. We receive a good percentage of the MLS photos. Many MLS' photos may take up to ten days from the listing date before they are available to ListingLink.
If my listing sells, how long does it take to be removed from the Internet?
The MLS data is updated every 24-48 hours and listings that are sold will cease to be included. Prior to our removing it from the Internet, we wait for two consecutive updates where the listing is not included to be sure that the listing should be removed.
Are my listings posted twice if my MLS shares listings with other Multiple Listing Services?
If you belong to two Multiple Listing Services, then your listing may appear twice. Note: many Multiple Listing Services have a required field in which you can specify whether you want the listing on the Internet. You can choose yes for one, no for the other to avoid a duplication. We no longer advertise "reciprocal" listings.
Which Web sites are my listings posted to?
You get several of the hottest Web sites for the price of one: ListingLink (http://listinglink.com) and, depending upon your area, Pacific Bell's At Hand (http://athand.com), and LA Times (http://latimes.com). Other sites are determined by your office affiliation, e.g., Fred Sands (http://fredsands.com) or John Aaroe and Associates (http://johnaaroe.com).
If I find an error with my listings on the Internet, whom do I call?
If you discover a problem or need for correction, you should verify that the information was input correctly through the MLS. You can update the MLS data and the change will come to us from the next update.
