It's a happy day for MLSpin users in Massachusetts.
Actually I guess it's been a happy week since the change is about a week old.
But today was the first I heard about it when a colleague gleefully waved a "lead form" in front of me.
What could be so exciting about the Property Transfer Notification Certification as it's officially and clumsily called?
Well it turns out the agent was able to download it from MLS.
Hallelujah!! It's about time.
We've been pushing for this for a while. Finally, we can attach PDFs to our MLS listings.
The real need for PDFs was for lead forms. The buyer is supposed to be given the lead form filled out by the seller while they're writing their offer. But often you don't have the seller's lead form and you can't track down the listing agent.
The fines for not filling out the lead form correctly are astronomical - tens of thousands of dollars I'm told.
The new ability to upload a lead form to MLS is HUGE!! I hope every listing agent gets on board quickly. In fact, I wish MLS would require the lead form for properties that require one - no lead form, no MLS entry. It's a much more critical piece than many of the required fields.
So pass the word and upload those lead forms!
