Please note that the educational period for CheckMate, our MLS Compliance Tool is coming to an end today, 10/31.

What this means for you:

1. If a violation is found on your listing, you will receive a violation notice from CheckMate.
2. If CheckMate sent the notice in error, do not stress, we check them each morning and will send a follow up email.
3. If it is a true violation with a fine associated, your Broker will receive the invoice for this during the next monthly billing cycle (1st week of the subsequent month).

Thank you and Happy Halloween!

We have seen a few scam attempts making the rounds lately, so here is a quick reminder of ways to stay alert:

What to watch for:

• Fake Zoom invites:  Scammers pretending to be buyers or sellers may insist on sending you a Zoom link. These links can be dangerous – don’t click unless your’re sure its legit.
• Gift card requests: if someone texts or emails asking you to buy gift cards or send money through a third party, it’s a scam. No one from your office should ever ask you to do this.
• Unknown numbers: if a number doesn’t show up in Forewarn or Domii, take a minute to double check before responding.

Quick tips:

• Do not click on links from people you do not know.
• Never buy gift cards or transfer money for someone who contacts you out of the blue.
• If something feels off, trust your gut – check with your Broker or fellow Agents before taking action.

Stay safe and do not hesitate to reach out if you’re unsure about a message or request.

UPDATE: The issue has been resolved!

Beginning on October 29, 2025, an issue was found affecting incoming listings to SCWMLS. The  listings impacted are all Milwaukee Metro listings which are displaying the list agent as WIREX USER and the listing office as WIREX OFFICE.

We are actively working to resolve the issue and will provide an update once it has been corrected.

Sincerely,

Your SCWMLS Support Team

3. On the listing, click the Aligned Showing icon
4. On the popup window, click the close button
5. Put the MLS number of the property you want to show in the search bar above the map to pull up that listing
6. Schedule your showing!

Launching September 3, 2025 – Realtor.com unveils a new agent search experience to help consumers connect with agents in their area.

Includes profiles for both Realtors® and non-members, with ranking based on relevancy and profile strength.

Consumers can filter searches to show only Realtors®, replacing the old “Find a Realtor®” tool.

Realtor® profiles remain free to claim, with direct inquiries delivered at no cost to NAR members.

More information found here:  Realtor.Com September Launch  and  FAQs

Paragon will be unavailable Wednesday morning 8/27 from midnight until 6:00am to perform updates and bugfixes. Please plan accordingly.

We are aware of Agents unable to access the WIREX database. The problem is in the background “communication” between systems and we are currently working on fixing the issue.

Thank you, Your SCWMLS Team

Am I required to submit the entire listing contract for a Delayed Listing to SCWMLS?

• No. You are only required to submit the fully executed Multiple Listing Options for Sellers Form.

Is the “show date” required in the first line of the public remarks for a Delayed Listing?

• Yes. The show date must be included in the first line of the remarks. If the seller later decides to allow showings sooner, that is acceptable and can be updated accordingly.

Why did SCWMLS implement this change?

• This change is in response to the National Association of REALTORS®’ new Multiple Listing Options for Sellers policy, which requires a disclosure form when utilizing a Delayed Listing status.

When must I begin using the Multiple Listing Options for Sellers Form?

• You are encouraged to begin using the form immediately.
  Mandatory use begins September 1, 2025.

Where can I access the Multiple Listing Options for Sellers Form? 

• Click here

Within Paragon, there is an easy way to see the number of potential buyers (Paragon contacts with saved searches) at the current list price, and how many there would be if the price were changed.  This functionality is available for partial listings and subject properties, as well as live listings.  When maintaining a listing click the Price Analysis button at the top:

The popup will show the number of buyers that match your property at the current price. Enter the new price you are considering and click Recalculate Buyers to see the difference that would make. If you want to make the change, click the Use New Price button to use the new price on the listing, then click Save Listing. Otherwise just click Close to keep the current price.
