The MLS is a professional network created to help us sell more, collaborate better, and build trust between agencies.
When all agents follow the same rules, share information properly, and take care of what they upload to the platform, results follow. But when it’s used in an individualistic or careless way, the MLS loses strength and stops being the true support system it should be.
Success within an MLS depends on a set of clear practices that, when applied consistently, benefit both the network and each individual agent. Want the Mediaelx MLS to truly work for you? Start by applying these principles:
1. Share properties: without contributions, there is no network
An MLS only works if all members share their listings. If we only browse other agents’ properties without contributing our own, the network weakens and loses its purpose.
Why is sharing vital?
- Because other agents can sell your properties for you.
- Because you gain exposure to hundreds of potential buyers.
- Because you build trust-based relationships with other agencies.
Tip: Share well-presented properties with clean photos and appealing descriptions. This will increase your chances of success.
2. Write complete, neutral descriptions with no agency details
When you share a property in the MLS, that information can appear on other websites. That’s why the description should be:
- Neutral: no agent names, phone numbers, or agency references.
- Detailed: clearly explaining the property, the area, condition, and extras.
- Unique: avoid copy-pasting from your own website. Google penalises duplicate content.
Tip: Think like a buyer: what information would help you decide? The clearer, more complete, and more objective your description is, the more value you’ll add to the network.
3. Use clean, high-quality photos: no logos, no watermarks
Images with logos, text or watermarks can confuse buyers, reduce professionalism and hinder collaboration. The goal is to showcase the property, not your brand.
What’s recommended?
- Sharp, well-lit photos with no promotional elements
- Avoid duplicates or low-quality images
Tip: Before sharing a property, view it from another agent’s perspective: would you publish it? If not, improve the photos.
4. Respond promptly to enquiries from other agencies
Communication between agencies is just as important. Quick replies, resolving doubts, and providing extra info builds trust and speeds up deals. When an agent knows they can rely on you, they’ll remember you for future collaborations.
This behaviour, repeated over time, builds strong professional relationships that go far beyond a single sale.
5. Manage new-build properties correctly
New-build listings require special attention. Keeping information updated, prices accurate, and availability real prevents misunderstandings and wasted time.
Likewise, it’s important to ensure your contact details are always correct within the platform. It may seem minor, but it could be the difference between closing a deal or missing out.
A successful MLS… depends on everyone
Small actions like sharing listings, writing helpful descriptions, or uploading quality photos can make the difference between selling or not selling.
A strong, balanced network is one where every member contributes. And the better the quality of your content, the greater your chances of closing deals.
Offering suggestions to improve the MLS is also part of a collaborative mindset. A living, evolving platform benefits all who use it.
