When to Use Withdrawn by Seller

The status of Withdrawn by Seller should be used when a seller changes their mind about selling, but the listing agent does not release them from their listing contract. Properties in Withdrawn by Seller may not be marketed or shown. Just like with Delayed properties, if the listing agent allows a showing, or a potential co-broke agent shows a property in Withdrawn by Seller status, both agents would be subject to fines by the MLS.

Once a listing is moved to the status of Withdrawn by Seller, the listing firm will not be able to move it back to Active. Before marketing & showings can resume, one of the following must be done:

1. Execute a new listing contract, expire the previous listing in the MLS, and add a new MLS #. This option will cause the days on market (DOM) count to reset. The cumulative days on market (CDOM) will only reset if the property has been off the market for at least 31 days.
2. Execute an amendment with the direction to reactivate the listing and submit it to listings@wisre.com. MLS Staff will change the listing back to Active status. This may only be done once per listing. With this option, the days on market will continue to accrue.

If you have a situation where the seller wants to temporarily suspend showings, you should leave the listing as Active, indicate in the first line of the public remarks that there are no showings allowed and provide the date showings will resume. You can change this date if needed.

If the listing agent releases the seller from their listing contract, the status should be changed to Expired.
